Hi Cristin! *waves*- If you were to time travel, which point in your life would you go back to? Would you change anything in it?
- Since this book is about time traveling, I'd like to know if you're a Whovian. Are you?
- Imagine your characters are on Survivor. Who will they vote out of the book?
- What book are you ashamed to have read?
If you could co-author a book with any other author, who would you want to choose? give us a realistic answer and then one that would be out of this world!
When writing, did you have any specific faces in mind for the characters? If the book were to be adapted into a film which actors do you think would best fit the characters?
*WARNING: THIS QUESTION IS A TOTAL SPOILER!*(view spoiler)
Here's my BookTube review of All Our Yesterdays. I gave it 5/5 and recommend it to everyone!
I selected your book for my high school book club for students who either don't like to read or who need extra credit in L.A. We'll be making character boards and will discuss power, loyalty, the butterfly effect, etc. When you wrote AOY, did you envision that it might be used to teach reading? Any advice on great discussion questions?

25. Kelly--As an author, are you able to keep spoilers under wraps in any way, or do you just rely on early readers keeping their mouths shut?Not gonna lie, the spoiler thing really worried me for awhile, and no, I have NO control over it. The connection between Em and Marina was spoiled by the announcement of the sale of the book, so that cat was let out of the bag early. Luckily most of the early readers of the book were very careful not to spoil the big twists in their reviews, but there were definitely some reviews that made me want to bang my head against a wall. For instance, the editorial review on AOY's Amazon page contains a massive spoiler. That makes me crazy if I think about it too much, but there's really nothing I can do about it except hope that the book is still enjoyable to people even if they know what's going to happen!
26. David--Do you like animals? Do you have any pets?
I love animals. I grew up with lots of cats and dogs, and I now have two cats of my own: Zoe, who has a lot of dignity, and Eli, who has none.
27. The Cover Contessa--Do you have plans to write in a different genre in the future? By that I mean still YA but perhaps a different sub genre? Do you see yourself branching out in that way?
I definitely think I'll write things other than YA science fiction/dystopian. The book I wrote before AOY was contemporary, and I think the idea I might write when I'm done with AOY2 is historical fantasy. And I would really love to write a middle grade novel someday because I love to read middle grade, just waiting on the right idea.
28. Kathryn--What advice would you give to people trying to write their first novel?
There were too things that really helped me turn the corner from wanting to right a book to actually finishing one. One was having a daily word goal. In my case I started with 750 words per day, but I don't think it matters where you start. It helps you make writing a daily routine, teaches you how to write when you don't feel like it, and the words add up surprisingly fast, which can be really motivating.
The second thing that really helped me was deciding NOT to reread anything I'd written until the book was done. I had a bad habit of editing as I went, which would lead to me obsessively revising sixty pages of a book and never actually finishing it. It was hard for me to let go of my perfectionism and just let that first draft go ahead and suck, as all first drafts do, but there's no point in having a perfect beginning if you never finish the book! So learn to be comfortable with the suck.
29. Ashlee--What do you do when you get writer's block?
To be honest, I think about 90% of writers block is actually bullshit. Most of the time when I'm feeling "blocked" it's actually one of two things. Either I'm being lazy and my mind is telling me that I can't write when really I just don't want to, or the idea just genuinely isn't ready yet and needs a little more time to percolate in my brain. It can be tricky to tell the difference, and unfortunately the remedies are pretty much the exact opposite of each other. For laziness (which, let's be honest, is FAR more common), I just have to get my butt in the chair and not leave until I've hit my daily word count. If the ideas aren't ready yet then sometimes a walk or a shower or something helps, but really it just needs time.
30. Ikao-- What is hardest scene you wrote in AOY? I honestly think chapter 38 to 39 is the hardest part to read because I cried on those 2 chapters lol.
Haha, yay! I love making people cry. ;)
Chapter 38 was crazy hard to write, but less because of the emotions and more because of the PRONOUNS. It was really difficult to try to make it clear who was actually talking when without making the writing really labored. That's probably the chapter I went over with the fine-tooth comb the most, tinkering with the word choices here and there up until the very last pass.
But actually, I think the hardest chapter for me was the first from Marina's perspective. I rewrote those few scenes several times and I still don't feel like I nailed what I was going for. I think that's the weakest part of the book. Maybe I shouldn't be saying that in public, but it's true. :)
31. Ikao--Would you mind to introduce who is the cute boy who potrayed Finn in AOY book trailer?
For anyone who hasn't seen what Ikao is talking about, we made a series of short webisodes that tell a story leading up to the beginning of the novel. You can watch them here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29pu1Y....
Our Finn is an actor here in DC named Tyler Herman. We had a really difficult time casting Finn, but then we found Tyler and he was just so great. He doesn't look quite the way I picture Finn in my head but his real-life personality is SO much like Finn's, really charming and funny and easy-going. He showed up to the shoot wearing white and black striped pajamas like they used to wear in old-timey movies about prison because we were shooting the "cell" scenes. He would be very gratified to know you find him cute. :)
Mod
I haven't seen the trailer, I'm going to have to watch that!
Great questions everyone, and great answers, Cristin!
Wow, so lots of my questions have been answered already. I'm not sure if anyone asked you if you had a favorite time travel book. All our Yesterdays, was probably my only third time travel book. I LOVED LOVED The Time Travellers Wife and My Name is Memory, and I have to say All our Yesterdays is just as good as these, I was so sad when it was over, it made me go "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Defiantly a book I will put on my to read shelf again and again. So what is your favorite time travel story besides your own of course?And IF it's been asked already and I missed it somewhere, I got nothing then lol. So then I'll ask um....what did you have to for dinner? And do you like to cook?
Thank you for sharing your amazing story with us, CAN'T wait for your second one!
Just read AOY (picked it up today, finished it today) and it was amazing and mind-bending. Thank you so much for doing this Q&A- I've enjoyed reading your responses so far. If you wouldn't mind sharing, How long was the entire process from start to finish (to publishing)? At what point in your life (post grad, professional) did you begin to write AOY?
32. Mei--Of all the characters, which one do you think you see yourself in the most?Hmm, that's hard. Of course they all have pieces of me in them, but none of them are really that much like me. I guess I'd say Em is the most like me if I had to pick.
33. Dianne--Once you started,did the characters help lead you in the direction the plot was going, or did you still lead them?
Ocassionally characters surprise me when I'm writing, but it's usually in small ways. I usually have them and the story pretty well figured out before I start to write, so that discovery process happens in my head before I start writing.
34. Jenea--What inspired you to write and what is your writing process like?
I don't know what first inspired me to start writing other than a lifelong obsession with stories and storytelling. Pretty much the first thing I wrote was this epic Mary Sue novel I worked on in middle school about a girl who gets discovered to star on Broadway and her handsome co-star falls in love with her. After that I moved on to fan fiction, which I wrote for many years. I never really had any ambitions to be a professional writer; it was just a hobby. But my mom was always telling me I should be a novelist (which I thought was RIDICULOUS), so one year I wrote a novel just to give to her on Christmas because I knew it would make her cry and she would love me better than my little sister (both totally happened). Through that process I discovered I actually liked writing novels, got an agent with my next book, and then wrote ALL OUR YESTERDAYS.
My process is basically like this: I play a novel in my head like a movie for months, swapping out scenes, figuring out characters, trying different things with the plot, until I like the movie in my head. Then I write a big outline of that. Then each day, I write a micro-outline of the scenes I intend to write that day which contains all the little details -- bits of dialogue or action, descriptions, whatever I know I want to include -- and then write from the micro-outline, fleshing it out into an actual scene. I write the book straight from beginning to end like this.
35. Dre--- If you were to time travel, which point in your life would you go back to? Would you change anything in it?
This is a hard one too! I don't think I would change anything, not because my life has always been great, but because I don't know what the ramifications would be. What if I ended up being a totally different person? What if one little change in the past made my present suck?
If I could revisit a time, I would probably go back to the year after I graduated college. That was a really great year for me. I was living in London and working at a job I LOVED and just generally really happy. I wouldn't mind being there again.
36. Dre-- Since this book is about time traveling, I'd like to know if you're a Whovian. Are you?
Absolutely! I'm waaaay behind, though. I have this bad habit where I put off watching shows I really love because I don't want them to be over, so consequently I end up getting really behind on the things I love the most.
37. Dre-- Imagine your characters are on Survivor. Who will they vote out of the book?
I happen to be a SURVIVOR devotee (whatever, haters, it's still awesome) and I think they'd probably vote James out first. He's crazy smart and a really good swimmer, which would make him a threat at challenges. (Personally I think his terrible interpersonal skills would make him pretty bad at SURVIVOR, but I still think they'd be intimidated enough to get rid of him.)
38. Dre-- What book are you ashamed to have read?
Eh, I don't believe in book shame. Even terrible books serve their purpose. I did recently listen to the latest Dan Brown novel on audiotape when I was driving across the country, though, and basically yelled at it the entire time. That's six hours of my life I'll never get back.
Mod
39. The Cover Contessa--If you could co-author a book with any other author, who would you want to choose? give us a realistic answer and then one that would be out of this world!Oh man, I don't know! I think co-writing would be so much about finding someone whose ideas and working style gelled with yours, so it's hard to say who that person might be. I would really love to try it some day, though. And if I'm going to dream big, the first person who comes to mind is Suzanne Collins, but I'd probably end up just letting her do all the work because she's so brilliant!
40. Kenna--When writing, did you have any specific faces in mind for the characters? If the book were to be adapted into a film which actors do you think would best fit the characters?
I don't see specific faces when writing. In my head, the characters are all just kind of fuzzy human shapes with hair. Consequently, if the book ever gets made into a movie (it's been optioned and I believe the screenplay is being finished right about now, so it could happen!), I'm not too bothered with finding actors who LOOK like the characters but ones who can produce the most authentic and exciting performances. And you just can never really tell who that's going to be in advance. I worked in casting for the theatre for awhile, so I feel like I have a pretty good feel for actors and have a few ideas about who, in my dreams, I think might be good for various characters, but sadly, because there is a chance a movie could get made, I'm not really allowed to share!
I would LOVE to hear who you guys would put in your dream cast, though! For Finn especially I've yet to think of anyone who seems like he'd be perfect.
41. Rachel--SPOILERS!(view spoiler)
42. Cynthia-- When you wrote AOY, did you envision that it might be used to teach reading? Any advice on great discussion questions?
First of all, that is amazing that you're using AOY in your classroom! That completely makes my day, you have no idea. I do free Skype visits for groups who read the book, so please email me if you'd be interested in setting one up, I'd love to visit your class!
And as for your question, honestly, it never occurred to me that AOY would be used to teach reading because it's not the most literary or educational of books (and also a touch violent! :)). But I'm thrilled that it is being used that way, doubly so if it's being read by reluctant readers.
43. Cindee-- So what is your favorite time travel story besides your own of course?
My favorite time travel book is probably A WRINKLE IN TIME, which has been one of my favorite books since I was a kid. But I have made an effort to avoid books about time travel the last couple of years so as not to be influenced, and I'm sure there are loads of good ones that I've missed! I have a whole list for when I'm done with AOY2.
44. Cindee-- I'll ask um....what did you have to for dinner? And do you like to cook?
LOL, I had Chipotle for dinner, because no, I do not like to cook. :) There are a few things I like to make, but I don't really GET cooking in general. It's too free-form, it's like chaos to me. I love to bake, though, and do that quite a bit.
45. Emalee-- How long was the entire process from start to finish (to publishing)? At what point in your life (post grad, professional) did you begin to write AOY?
I started to write AOY in April or May of 2011, so I was 27, had finished school and was working as a theatrical stage manager. My agent sent it out to publishers in February of 2012 and it sold in about a week. Then it was published in September of 2013. So altogether it was about two years and three months from when I started writing the book until it came out.
Anyway I soo want to read Cristin Terril's contemporary novel!! OMG It's been optioned for a movie!!
Question :
Do you consider to send your contemporary novel to publisher?
Did you cry at all when writing/reading AOY? If so, for who or why?
Mod
Can you tell us anything about the sequel and it's expected release?
That is so confusing. Thanks for answering my question! I had to read it like 4 times to understand, lol.Team questions:
1. Team Edward or Jacob?
2. Team Simone or Jace?
3. Team Gale or Peeta?
4. Team Pirate or Ninja?
5. ... any other teams I'm forgetting.
I only wish to know "HOW" the heck were You able to create such an AMAZING story; Characters, Plot,, Start,,, Middle,,,, Ending., Action,, Suspense,, Humour And that, "Can NOT put this Book Down Syndrome"!.., into ONE book?? What this Novel of Yours contains, entails and the effects it had, (and also LEFT), on me when reading & still so, were/are, AWESOMELY Un-Forgetable in My mind!!! I don't think I will be able to NOT think about ALL OUR YESTERDAYS any time soon!! :D
46. Ikao--Do you consider to send your contemporary novel to publisher? We did submit it to a few publishers while I was writing AOY. I found myself in this weird position, though, where I already knew AOY was going to be a much better book and so I was kind of hoping the contemporary WOULDN'T sell, which ultimately it didn't. I'm not sure it's completely dead, though. We didn't submit it very widely and it came quite close to selling a couple of times, so it could still find a home. I would want to completely rewrite it, though, because I'm a much better writer now than I was three years ago!
47. The Cover Contessa--Did you cry at all when writing/reading AOY? If so, for who or why?
There's usually one or two spots in each book that make me cry as I'm writing, and they're usually not the bits that you'd expect, like when a character dies. I'm pretty sure I cried a bit at the end of chapter 38 when Em starts talking to Marina, but I think that was it.
48. Karen--Can you tell us anything about the sequel and it's expected release?
I wish I could! All I can really say (and I might get in trouble for even this!) is that Em and Finn were wrong and the book probably won't be out until 2015.
49. Layla--Was any chocolate maliciously (or innocently) consumed in the writing of AOY ;) ?
Consumed with GREAT MALICE. :)
50. Rachel--1. Team Edward or Jacob? Team I Only Read The First Book And Jacob Was Barely In It So I Don't Feel Qualified To Give An Answer
2. Team Simon or Jace? I haven't read these at all!
3. Team Gale or Peeta? Peeeeetaaaaaaaa.
4. Team Pirate or Ninja? Hmm, can't say I have a strong feeling about this, but I'm going to go with Pirate.
51. Catherine--I only wish to know "HOW" the heck were You able to create such an AMAZING story; Characters, Plot,, Start,,, Middle,,,, Ending., Action,, Suspense,, Humour And that, "Can NOT put this Book Down Syndrome"!.., into ONE book??
Haha, I have no idea how to answer this question, but thank you so much!! Honestly, I feel like the stars really aligned for ALL OUR YESTERDAYS and made me seem like a MUCH better writer than I really am. I'm really scared I'll never be able to live up to it again!
Why the switch from third-person past to first-person present?Sort of related:
Most YA is written first person. Why do you think so?
What's your favorite part in writing the world building?Any plans or ideas on what your next novel will be after AOY2?
Wow, so incredibly hard to come up with a question no one has asked. I don't think I saw this one so here goes...What input, if any, did you have in the cover design? And when you daydreamed about your cover, what did you have in mind? (I love seeng/hearing about alternatives.)
Mod
Who are your favorite authors ever? And what authors have had the biggest influence on your work?
Mod
Favorite coffee (or tea)?
Are you an avid reader? If so, have you always been? How do you feel that has influenced your own writing?Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to answer our questions!
How did the idea for this book come to you? Was it just a vague 'concept' that you built out? Did one of the characters come to you and tell you their story? . . . And do you remember what made you decide make the story into a book?
Clearly you're a natural storyteller, but was writing always something you imagined yourself doing?
I don't think I saw this question, but maybe something like it. But I like to ask other authors this. :)When you're writing, do you follow an outline that has everything plotted out? Or do you let the characters and the story take you where you need to go? If so, were there any plot twists that took you by surprise or did the characters do something you hadn't planned on?
Also,
If you're an avid reader, what's your favorite genre to read? Are you currently reading anything?
Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions! :)
What makes you a writer, and is there any other jobs you have if your not writing?
What made you turn to Dystopian Genre? Are you a fan or did the book just flow? As a writer, I am interested to know.
52. Carl--Why the switch from third-person past to first-person present?It was my agent's suggestion. I originally wrote it in third-person because I have a personal aversion to (most) books that are written in multiple first-person POVs, and I knew I needed to tell the story from both Em and Marina's perspective. But my agent thinks I write much better in first-person and convinced me to try it, and she was right!
53. Carl--Most YA is written first person. Why do you think so?
I think it's generally easier to write a more vivid voice in first person, and YA is pretty free from the pretension that looks down on first-person as less literary or artful or whatever.
54. Mei--What's your favorite part in writing the world building?
I loved the whole future police state thing and wish I could have written more about that. I love conspiracy theories and visit all these crazy conspiracy websites that are obsessed with our descent into a dystopian police state, so it was fun to pull from that.
55. Mei--Any plans or ideas on what your next novel will be after AOY2?
See question 23!
56. Shay/Shelver--What input, if any, did you have in the cover design? And when you daydreamed about your cover, what did you have in mind? (I love seeng/hearing about alternatives.)
The cover process for this book was VERY difficult. Disney worked on the cover for nearly a year, and they were really good about asking my opinion and trying to take my suggestions on the various comps. (I never really had anything in mind myself, so I was very open.) I think we went through about ten concepts before they chose the concept that's on the ARC, which is about the fourth or fifth version of that "many faces" concept. Then Barnes & Noble killed that cover, because they HATED it. After that, we probably went through another twenty or more completely different concepts. BEA was fast approaching, and Disney had already announced that they'd be debuting the cover at an event there (plus the book needed to go to print shortly after). I thought they were revising a cover I had already seen, but then the day before the cover debut at BEA, they sent me something totally new I'd never seen before and said "this is your cover!" And it was the cover the book has now. So I saw it for the first time about fourteen hours before everyone else did. :)
57. Jenny--Who are your favorite authors ever? And what authors have had the biggest influence on your work?
Well, my favorite author ever is Shakespeare, obviously. I don't think the English language, or maybe any language, has EVER produced a greater genius and maybe never will. I think reading HIS DARK MATERIALS is what ultimately led me to writing for young people, so Philip Pullman is a favorite of mine. I was also a big fan of Patrick Ness's books and then we sort of became friends after I inadvertently stalked him a couple of times, and he was really supportive of me at a crucial time in my writing, which made a huge difference.
58. Karen--Any favorite TV shows that you are addicted to?
Sooo many. Too many, if I'm honest; I have a serious TV addiction. To give you a sampling, I was pretty excited to watch the return of PRETTY LITTLE LIARS last night and I'm psyched for the new HOUSE OF CARDS on Friday.
59. Karen--Favorite coffee (or tea)?
I don't drink caffeine! I know, it makes me feel like a bit of a failure as a writer.
61. Isis--How did the idea for this book come to you? Was it just a vague 'concept' that you built out? Did one of the characters come to you and tell you their story?
I talked about how I got the idea in question 1!
62. Kelly--Clearly you're a natural storyteller, but was writing always something you imagined yourself doing?
I talked about this in my answer to question 34. Basically, no. I used to write just as a hobby and had no ambition to do it professionally, but then I kind of fell into it.
63. Holly--When you're writing, do you follow an outline that has everything plotted out? Or do you let the characters and the story take you where you need to go? If so, were there any plot twists that took you by surprise or did the characters do something you hadn't planned on?
No, I'm very much a planner! See question 34 for more.
64. Holly--If you're an avid reader, what's your favorite genre to read? Are you currently reading anything?
I pretty much read YA, middle-grade and non-fiction, and I usually prefer speculative stuff as opposed to the realistic (except in non-fiction, obviously). At the moment I'm rereading The Queen of Attolia, which is part of a series I reread probably once a year. I'm drafting at the moment, and I find it really hard to read new fiction when I am.
65. Jenny--What makes you a writer, and is there any other jobs you have if your not writing?
To me, if you write, you're a writer. I write pretty much full-time, but I do spend a few hours a week teaching creative writing for kids and teens part-time with a group called Writopia.
66. Elizabeth--What made you turn to Dystopian Genre? Are you a fan or did the book just flow?
I've loved dystopian literature since I read THE GIVER when I was nine or ten, but I never really thought of AOY as dystopian until readers started calling it that. To me, it was always just science fiction with a few dystopian elements at the beginning (I do generally think the label is too widely applied these days, not every post-apocalyptic story or everything with a totalitarian government in it is a dystopia). But I do naturally gravitate towards a lot of dystopian-type stories. I love corrupt powers and conspiracy theories and all of that, and they crop up in my writing a lot.
Mod
Thanks for replying to my question. I really am enjoying participating. As they say on the radio, "I am long time listener, first time caller!"
Mod
What is your favorite thing about being a writer? What is your least favorite?
How do you cope with not so favourable reviews? Is it difficult to separate yourself from your work, or do you tend to take criticism personally?
Mod
Who do you consider to be your most valuable critic?
Mod
67. Jenny--What is your favorite thing about being a writer? What is your least favorite?I guess my favorite thing about being a writer is getting to do something I enjoy and find satisfying for a living. My least favorite thing is probably how bizarre and arcane the publishing industry can be sometimes and how many aspects of my career are competely out of my control.
68. Kelly--How do you cope with not so favourable reviews? Is it difficult to separate yourself from your work, or do you tend to take criticism personally?
So far negative reviews haven't really bothered me, which I was not expecting at all because I'm not a thick-skinned person. But I have been crazy lucky that most of the reviews (that I've seen, at least) have been positive, which makes it easier to brush off the negative ones. The only time a review stings a bit is when I know deep down in my heart that I agree with it.
69. Karen--What has been your favorite fan moment as an author?
Most of the writing I did up until a few years ago was fan fiction, so seeing the first piece of AOY fan fiction was huge for me. That someone would care as much about the world and characters I created as I did about the stories I used to write fan fiction for, and seeing someone else's take on my story, was really incredible. A close second would be a moment at a conference last fall. I was talking to a couple of MUCH better-known authors than I am when a few attendees came up to us and started gushing. It took me a second to realize they were actually talking to ME, and that was amazing.
70. Karen--Who do you consider to be your most valuable critic?
My agent, for sure. She's incredibly editorial, very savvy and insightful, and she doesn't let me get away with ANYTHING. The amount of work she puts into helping me make my books as best as they can be is really amazing, and I wouldn't be half the writer I am now without her.
71. Kathryn--Have you ever done NaNoWriMo?
Nope! Mostly because the timing has never worked out for me, but I'm also more of a slow-and-steady kind of person.
72. David--Earlier you mentioned you keep your butt in your chair until you hit your word count goal. What is your daily word count goal? Does it change from day to day?
I do 1,750 words per day. When I started writing novels, I began with 750 words a day and have added 250 to the goal each time I start a new book, so I've worked up to this number gradually. Not sure I can go much higher, though. :)

Mod
This has been an incredible Q&A!!! I got butterflies each time I realized more answers were sitting in here for me to read!!!
Mod
I didn't know you wrote fan fiction! What kind did you write?
Hi Cristin,Thank you for your generous offer. I will definitely take you up on the Skype session. We will be starting up the book group in February so I will be in touch. I gave your book to one of my test readers and she absolutely adored it! Your email is on your website so is that the best way to reach you?
73. Jenny--I didn't know you wrote fan fiction! What kind did you write? I wrote fan fiction for a lot of different things, but I will never reveal my secret identity. :)
Cynthia, yes, please feel free to email me whenever you're ready to set up a Skype visit! The address on my website will be fine.
So I think I've answered all the questions? If anyone has anything else they want to ask, I'll continue to check this thread for a few more days, so please feel free. And you can always email or tweet at me too.
Thank you guys so much for your enthusiasm and your fantastic questions! I had a lot of fun and I hope you found my answers interesting!
Mod
Thank you so much for coming to our group, Cristin! This was so much fun, and I'm glad you had fun, too!
And the mods will notify the winners of the giveaway within the next few days!
Mod
All the best with All Our Yesterdays and its sequels, and we can't wait to read what you come up with next :)
I loved it, it's been my favourite Q&A so far. Thank you :)
Hey, Cristin. I guess it's clear enough that you must like reading so are you a bookworm? If yes, were you always one or did you start being one after a certain phase in your life? Also, do you have any particular reason in turning to books or is it just that you love reading stories (because at times, you know, one turns to them to seek the adventures they can't really experience in real life)?
Mod
Marium, Cristin must have missed your question, I'll forward it on to her for you :)
