Kaitlyn asked Rainbow Rowell:

Which of your books took the longest to write? Also, which one took the least amount of time?

Rainbow Rowell Attachments took the longest. About five years of stopping and starting. I'd never written a book before, and I had no idea whether I was doing it right.

Then Eleanor & Park was the fastest -- about three months for the first draft. It was a very intense period.

Hi! I have to say that Attachments is one of the most comforting presences in my life and I read it at least once a year as a ritual since first reading it in 2012. Are you planning on writing any more adult fiction in the near future?
