Excuse me Miss George, When I asked you about writing a novel about a royal bachelor competition, I was curious if you ever considered writing your own reimagining of Hans Christian Andersen's story The Traveling Companion or even your own reimagining of the fairytale opera Turandot where the princess challenges her suitors to a play a made-up sports she created instead of riddles?
Jessica Day George
No, because I loathe Hans Christian Andersen's stories. I literally LOATHE them. All of them. I've never heard of The Traveling Companion, and I don't care to read it. I'm sure it's depressing for no reason. And I only vaguely know the story of Turandot, it's not really my thing.

This is part two of my previous question. Do you have a job other than writing amazing books (and probably not as amazing first drafts)? What do you recommend I major in in college? Thank you so much! Oh, the not so amazing first draft part was just a guess, I wouldn't be surprised if all of your drafts turn into books! You are an amazing writer who makes amazing characters, thank you for that too. I also knit .
