First of all, I'd like to say I love your first book. I see that you're working on more and can't wait to read them as I found Chat Love very funny. Besides music, What is your process for writing? Once you think of a basic story do you make your own kind of chart plot and then go from there?

Hi Devon,
Thank you so much! Def music helps (and making a "soundtrack" to your book is a huge helper) but besides that, I don't do anything else. I don't make a chart or write a treatment first. I write part of the story first which then helps drive to write the rest. I also write different chapters of the book at different times. I don't believe writing a story in chronological order, so I could start writing part of the story that made me want to write the story in the first place then after that ideas come to me and before I know it I'm writing the end of the book then the beginning, etc.
