why did you write shuffle,repeat as you did?
Jen Klein Hm... why did I write it the WAY that I wrote it? With the flashbacks, you mean?

I thought it was a fun way to give insight into what happens in the future, but without giving it away.

Thanks for reading!

What’s the best thing about being a writer?
Jen Klein My answer is the same for both parts of my writing life -- screenwriting and being an author -- it's the people. Hands down. At my TV job, I get to hang out with the most fun, creative, brilliant people every day. And because of books, I'm now friends with this huge community of local YA authors, all of whom are supportive and generous and lovely. Throw voracious readers and passionate viewers into that mix and there's just no other answer. The best part of being a writer is the people.
