Writing On the Subject of Unmentionable Things forced me too take a look at my high school self! And everything I wish I'd known way back then! #Yaauthortakeover

Question from IG: What's your favorite scene from a book you've written?#YAauthortakeover
Paul's letter from Words on Bathroom Walls
BUT there are two library scenes I adore in #OTSOUT— #hsmtmts and #neverhaveIever interviews all month! (@YoungEntmag) August 25, 2022
Answer: The awkwardness. I loved writing about stuff that used to embarrass me. And I loved these characters so much. Phoebe's research. Jorge's plants. Cora's hobbies and confidence… LOVE. #YAauthortakeover

Chaos.I have three kids and I can only really focus when they’re sleeping, but sleep doesn’t always happen when it should and when it does sometimes I FALL ASLEEP TOO. So it’s a constant struggle to write or sleep or eat or fold laundry. HAHAHA just kidding. #YAauthortakeover

Oh yeah, the writing. I do a lot of it on my phone but I love to write in notebooks when I can. There’s something about trying to decipher my own terrible handwriting when typing it up later. I miss writing in quiet libraries the most. #YAauthortakeover

For drafting I need a good meal. Sushi is for serious work so is a tuna melt and sweet potato fries.

For editing I need candy. @SwedishFish is my go to editing candy but anything @CadburyUK also produces good results. I see you laughing. This is serious business. #YAauthortakeover

Third Grade. I had a teacher who told me I was a good writer. It sounded like magic. And I believed her. Teachers are awesome.

That it's okay to not know everything. And it's normal to be curious about sex. #YAauthortakeover
