“Always take credit for good writing you did not intend because you’ll be getting plenty of criticism for bad writing you did not mean either.” Roy Peter Clark, WRITING TOOLS.

What’s something that surprised you in your own book? A twist you didn’t see coming, a character reaction you thought would go differently, even a line you didn’t expect to be impactful?

One of the most satisfying parts of writing is having elements of a book come together in ways I didn’t anticipate. In THESE REBEL WAVES, I never planned to have Vex’s POV (it was only supposed to be Lu and Ben), but the moment I wrote his first section, he surged right on ahead like he was always meant to be a POV character. Vex took on a life of his own in the best way, and it made writing his chapters some of my favorite bits of TRW.
