I have sadly known several people who have taken their own lives. Around the time I was 17 I imagined myself in a relationship with a self harmer. This was the seedling that created Sam in ‘The Good Girl.’ I based Jenna off of the life I almost chose for myself. And without giving anything away, the other aspects of the story were born from a need to keep the focus on the right plot.

I imagine dark things all the time. When one screams louder than the others, I proceed with putting it into words.

I’m currently about to start writing a novel that will cross dark romance and psychological thriller about a cam girl in a marriage of convenience whose biggest fan has a plan to get her out of a difficult situation.

Just keep writing. To hell with what anyone else says about your ideas or your writing “style.” Write. Keep writing. And tell your story the way you want.

For me it’s bringing a whole world in my head to life. It allows me to process internalized trauma while sharing the movies playing in my mind.

It depends on where in the story I am. Because I create a fully comprehensive start to finish outline before writing a single chapter, I rarely get stuck on what next. But if I get stuck on a detail or moment, I will often skip it and go to the next bit in the outline and come back later. I don’t write or even think in a linear way, so it’s easy for me to just set a chapter aside and return. Most times what I was stuck on shakes looses while completing other chapters.
