Melissa asked Lena Dunham:

Would you consider writing a second book about your creative process and about how your success happened (how you were able to get your movies made and what the process was like developing Girls--maybe incorporating what it is like for a woman in the entertainment industry today)? Thanks!

Lena Dunham Maybe someday but at this point, my creative process is still in such flux! I have only been working professionally for five years and I learn lessons, both wonderful and painful, every single day. That's why I love when masters like Norman Lear or David Lynch or Diana Athill look back on their creative lives with the wisdom of experience.

Denise asked Lena Dunham:

Hi Lena! I enjoyed reading your book and felt that I could relate to a lot of what you were saying and what you've been through. When you were writing the book, did you think that so many readers would have your same struggles and point-of-view?

Gina Elle

Gina Elle asked Lena Dunham:

My question for you Lena, has to do with your writing process. The chapters we've read from Not That Kind Of Girl are obviously final drafts but approximately how many drafts or versions did you write/edit/revise/rewrite/delete or cry over (or not) before the final ones? Did you actually write them in the order in which they've been published? Many thanks. Your book made me laugh out loud. You're brilliant!
