It’s the purest form of the story, before anyone else can weigh in on it – it’s just me and my imagination, thinking through the pieces, puzzling it all together, adding layers and intersections between characters. Jenny: At this point in my writing journey, the planning/daydreaming/character backstory bit is the absolute best. The Book Bratz: In your opinion, what’s the best part of the writing process? What’s the hardest? I remember it took me a long time to stop reading MSWL for agents I liked because I had to remind myself I HAD an agent. So my outward status changed very quickly, but in my head I was still that amateur writer scrabbling for somebody to just look at my stuff. Emotions are like evolutionary mutations – they take time to respond to environmental changes. So it was almost like whiplash – years of trying and failing, to suddenly having an agent and a book deal and being a professional author. Snow competition and ended up getting my agent a week later, and then we went out on sub maybe a month later, and then it sold five weeks after that. I queried for yeeeaaaarrrrsssss on multiple projects without success, and then I was selected by Amy Trueblood for the Sun vs. Jenny: Thank you! It is a conflagration of emotions. The Book Bratz: First of all, congratulations! How does it feel to be a debut author?
