Living in the Pages

Episode 25 - Mia Sheridan

"I’ve always kind of had an affinity for writing in general, but I never
thought about writing fiction until I sat down to do it … It worked out,
and I love it. I love it so much, and I’m so grateful that I chose to take
a chance on doing that." — Mia Sheridan

Episode 24 - Maryse

"Whether it’s romance and just sweet, big love but with an angsty moment or
some devastating realization, or whether it’s a psych thriller where
there’s a twist that is so clever that I didn’t even see it coming that
makes me at the end of the book say, ‘I knew it was going this way, but I
never saw this!’ That makes me excited." — Maryse

Episode 23 - Kate Stewart

"[The big picture has] always been movies…for me. But writing ended up
being the perfect medium, I guess you could say, to help me express those
movies that I’ve always seen in my head." — Kate Stewart

Episode 22 - Calia Read

"You know, when you write, your characters affect you a little bit, and
whatever is happening with them, it kind of rubs off on you." — Calia Read

Episode 21 - Jodi Ellen Malpas

"Everything that I made [Jesse] do, I would only pause for a moment and
think, ‘Oh my goodness. Am I actually going to make him do this?’ But I
didn’t really think anyone would ever read it . . . I thought only I could
love such a nutcase—but apparently not." — Jodi Ellen Malpas

Episode 20 - Tijan

"I just started writing, and as soon as I did, it was like a release. It
clicked in me that I don’t care if these stories don’t even go anywhere or
no one reads them. I was just like, 'I have to write!'" — Tijan

Episode 19 - Jennifer Probst

"I said to myself, ‘I’m changing my process because my process sucks,’ …
and for two weeks, I didn’t write a word. Not one sentence came out. My
muse basically said, ‘I don’t know what you think you are, but we’re not
this!’ After that, I put everything in the garbage and went back to my
process, and now I embrace it."
— Jennifer Probst

Episode 18 - Cassia Leo

"It gets done, not really in a linear sort of process. I get little
snippets of each chapter as they come to me, and then I just, sort of,
connect the dots." — Cassia Leo

Episode 17 - Christina Lauren

"We enjoy the process, no matter what, but I think we enjoy it most when
the book takes control." — Christina Lauren

Episode 16 - Emma Chase

"I love mornings! I love the idea of "Oh, I have a whole new day." And then
when the day starts to fly by around one or two, I'm like "Crap!" 
But there's always tomorrow." — Emma Chase
