Colleen Hoover:
So far through out all your books, you characters go through a fair amount of development, and your climaxes are always on point (not rushed, and not dragged out). My question is: do you plan the story, where you want to take it, and the characters' development or is it a process of having an idea and letting the events flow as you write without certain plans?
Colleen Hoover
It's a little of both. I try to plan out as much as I can. Planning always helps build the story and characters. But once I'm at a point where I start writing, things change so much. The characters become their own people and the stories almost always change from the original idea based on the actions of the characters. And every writing process is completely different.

I need to start by saying that I am such a huge fan. I finished Ugly Love a while back and thought "yup, this is it. the best book ever". Then I read November 9 and thought "yup, this is the best book ever". And yesterday, I finished Confess and thought "yup, THIS is the best book ever". So basically, your books are perfection. Anyway, my question is: Out of all the couples you've written, do you have a favorite?
