I have read several books by co-authors Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings -- you may know them by their combined pen name, Christina Lauren -- and absolutely loved all of them. I was dying to pick their brains and hear about their creative process for writing books since there are two of them.
What we covered:
- How Christina and Lauren each got into writing initially
- How they first met and decided to become writing partners
- What their creative process looks like for writing books
- How long it takes for them to write a book from start to finish
- How real life impacts their creative process and ability to write
- Do they ever disagree on the plot or ending of a story?
- How their writing style has evolved over time
- Their favorite book they’ve ever written
- Where do they find inspiration to write their stories
- Who are their favorite authors / books
- Will any of their books ever be turned into a movie?
- And more!
