“The Next Big Thing” Challenge.

Okay, before I go give you the post, I want to say that I didn’t ignore this challenge. I was away from my laptop/any computer for non-writery reasons yesterday so I couldn’t post. So Stephanie, lovely lady and fellow writer who tagged me, I didn’t ignore you tag. Honest.

So what this challenge is all about is I answer 10 questions about my current work in progress, then tag five people. The problem with the tagging is, I know five people, but I can’t find blogs from them (go figure). Other writers I’ve still been too shy to talk to, and usually just stalk on twitter. So, I say this: if you read this, and want to do it, tag me on twitter (@megantrennett) and I will hope on over to read it, as well as retweet your blog link.

Now, without any further adieu, I give you, my 10 questions.

1. What is the title of your book/WIP?

Unscripted Transformations. I have the choice, so I”m going with this one because I haven’t decided which re-write I want to do next.

2. Where did the idea for the book come from?

It came after I finished writing Heart Pulled to Pieces. Though the original idea is so far out into left field compared to where this one is,  the basic concept of a story that makes you love the bad guy is still there.

3. What genre would your book fall under?

Chick-lit of the romantic-comedy variety.

4. Which actors would you choose your characters to play in a movie rendition?

Haha, I love this question. Isla I would probably cast Taylor Swift. Her hair is what sells me, but she’s not exactly how I pictured Isla. For Eddie, I would say Paul Rudd.

5. What is the one sentence synopsis of your book?

Oh fudge. Fun followed by a question of pure evil. Okay, let me try this.

Isla and Eddie met by accident, became friends, and now she has to figure out if she can make a leap of faith with him despite knowing his devious past.

6. Is your book published or represented?

Not yet.

7. How long did it take you to write?

It took me about three months. Then I let it sit for about two years before I cam back and did some more work on it. So I don’t know how long I should say it took me to write.

8. What other books in your genre would you compare it to?

I have no idea. I’ve read some books in my genre, and their either way more awesome than mine, or I feel like mine is better. So… umm, it’s not as good as Emily Giffin, but I’d like think I did a good job with it.

9. Which authors inspired you to write this book?

None. Or me, maybe. I don’t know.

10. Tell us anything else that might pique our interest in your book.

It’s all about change, second chances, perspective, and love (both romantic and family). There are a total of three characters, including Eddie, that come back from Heart, though the others are purely secondary. Hopefully you’ll get to read it in the fall.
