Abigail asked Link Neal:

First of all, I am super excited to read the Lost Causes of Bleak Creek!! I was just wondering if, when you and Rhett first decided to write a novel, were you nervous? Was there ever a point where you were unsure if you would be able to finish the novel?

Link Neal We were very excited to begin work on our first novel, but, yes, I'll say I was also a bit nervous. We knew it would be an ambitious undertaking and it turned out to be just that (we began work on The Lost Causes almost two years ago!). I believe we really benefited from collaborating from the get-go. If one of us wasn't particularly motivated, the other would spur the work on. We started by developing a detailed outline of the entire story and once that was in place, I really feel like we were off to the races.
