Sydney Griggs asked Josephine Angelini:

Hi Josephine! For one, I want you to know that I loved the StarCrossed Series so much, I read it in 2 days! My question is: What advice would you give to someone who wants to be an author and how old were you when you decided that it was what you wanted to do with your life?

Josephine Angelini Thank you so much! Wow. Did you stop to eat and sleep? My books are loonnngg.... My advice for a first time writer is pretty boring--finish. I know it sounds silly, but before you start writing make an outline so you know that you have a plot that makes sense and then finish it. I think the biggest obstacle for a young writer is that she'll have a great idea, a good beginning, then she won't know how to get past the tricky middle part and she abandons her story. Don't do that. Keep going, and finish.
