Hi! Gonna add this in my blog post so it would be amazing if you would answer. 1. In your novel, Boy Band, who is your favorite character in TKOS? Why? 2. Who inspired you to write? 3. How do you plan your plots or twists? Last question, 4. How do you come up with all of the songs in TKOS? (like the lyrics)
Jacqueline E. Smith
1. I love Josh. I've always had a weakness for guys who can make me laugh.
2. I was inspired to write Boy Band after my sister and I spent an evening watching music videos, mostly boy bands. Imagine that! ;)
3. I'm actually not much of a planner or a plotter. I write these books as they play out in my head. Like watching a movie and writing down what happens. I have somewhat of an idea going in what will happen, but it can always change. The end of the third book, Worldwide, wasn't planned or expected at ALL.
4. My sister helps a lot with the lyrics. I'm not a very good poet. If it's a lyric that I wrote, however, I just imagine an upbeat melody in my head and make up words to go along with it.
