My DisOrganised Life idea started with two questions. The first - What if you did something really embarrassing and it was caught on video and that video went viral?
Before the internet, if you did something embarrassing maybe just a handful of people witnessed it but nowadays, someone will pull out their mobiles and film it and suddenly its gone viral in a matter of seconds. Eve has to learn to deal with the humiliation.
The second question - What do I want to do with my life? Ok, that’s a really difficult question for anyone and it’s something our protagonist, Eve tries to answer. She writes a list, 'Things to do while I’m still twenty something' which motivates her into action and suddenly she’s got a vision for her future.

I'm chuffed that we can say we've written four books together. Having each other at the end of a phone is motivational and a giggle too. It makes the whole process much more fun and surprisingly productive. The idea that we weren’t sure at the beginning of a chapter suddenly becomes the best thing the other has ever heard. The support (i.e. the chatter times) creates it’s own impetus. Golden Rule though: when it sucks, say it sucks. There’s no room for being too precious, that’s how most partnerships really work
