Nanda Oliveira asked Taylor Jenkins Reid:

Hi Taylor, i am new here in goodreads, and i am currently working on my very first book. What is your advise for first book writers? What sources do you recommend to get inspired and what to focus on?

Taylor Jenkins Reid Hi Nanda, I think the very best advice there is about writing is when F. Scott Fitzgerald said, "You don't write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say."

Find what you have to say and say it in your own voice.

Good luck!

Jessica asked Taylor Jenkins Reid:

I read only one book by you and it was One True Loves and I was deeply troubled by the two characters dilemma that I was truly crying at how hard it was to follow the characters stories. Did you know who you were going to pick as her one true love? Or did you plan it that way? What was your story behind that book because it was really a heartbreaking romance but still you still had a good, soft ending.
