Natalie M. asked Kasie West:

Hey, Kasie! I have adored every single one of your books I have read so far. They are so cute and entertaining! My question to you is what got you into writing? Were there any people who doubted you and how did you overcome that? Thanks in advance!

Kasie West Thank you so much! What got me into writing? Well, I had an idea that I couldn't ignore for a book so I decided to try writing it. I'd always been an avid reader up until that point but never thought about writing until this idea. When I tried writing it, I loved the process so much that I decided to keep going. There were many people that doubted me but the hardest doubts to overcome were my own. I doubted myself more than anyone else doubted me. I just had to grit my teeth and keep trying. My desire outweighed mine (and anyone else's) doubt. As long as I kept that balance (desire above doubt) I was able to keep going.
