Hello Kasie: I love your books, my favorite is ''P.S: I like you''. One of the things that i love about your books is that the stories seems to flow very naturally, so i was wondering, what advice can you give me about writing stories that flows naturally?
Kasie West
Thanks for reading and liking my books. Advice on how to write natural stories....hmmmm. I read over my dialogue a lot to make sure what I've written down is the natural progression of the conversation. If I need the characters to say a certain thing, I make sure the dialogue builds up to that thing and they don't just say it out of the blue. I edit a lot. I try to write fast on the first draft, for me that helps it come out naturally without analyzing too much. But then I go back and tighten it and make it cleaner. I don't know, those are just a few tips. You'll really have to find the things that work for you because they might not be the same things that work for me. Good luck with your writing!

Kasie I love you and I've considered you one of my favorite authors since I read On the Fence. It wasn't enough so I had to buy The Distance Between Us and The Fill-In Boyfriend. I don't think I can really wait for P.S. I Like You to release so I was just wondering, is there any way to get an ARC of it? Thank you!

Hey, Kasie. I asked you a question months ago, finished and loved Lucky in love even though I thought the writing is now incredibly simple to me but good, and I was wondering about a question. As I was flipping through TfillInBF, there was a quote about Hayden's mom reading the Bible, and I wondered if you are a Christian? Are you? No offense, just curious.

I have read every single book of yours so far except for "By your side" which I'm expecting in the mail this week. I just want to tell you that you're an incredible author with great characters and funny yet thought-moving story lines. Thank you! My question is, if one of your books was chosen to become a movie, which one would you like it to be?
