Calling all rom-com fans!
Scary Mommy: Love is a huge theme in the book. You explore relationships between mothers and daughters, sisters, in-laws, strangers, and spouses. At the heart ofGeorgia Clark:
I love that every chapter is written from a different POV. I felt more appreciative of each character’s development because I watched them grow from multiple perspectives. I feel writing is really working when you feel like you’re listening to the characters talking to each other rather than you jamming words into their mouth or shoe-horning perspectives or opinions in. For each of these storylines, I map out where the characters are probably going to end up. Some storylines are bigger than others: Amelia and Liss are the central romance, so they have the most real estate in the book. Then it’s a matter of weaving it altogether.
The relationship that took the longest to solidify was actually Glen and Randall because I didn’t really know who Randall was. I had a really good sense of who Glen was because I was basing him off my dad; but when I first started, I didn’t have a good sense of Randall’s personality. I was kind of just moving him around the board, he wasn’t doing much in scenes. It wasn’t until I was speaking with another writer friend about it, and she made the point that in a buddy comedy, opposites work well.
The characters go through their own version of a lockdown, was that a reflection of what was happening around us at the time?as a COVID novel. My agent liked everything about the story, characters, and setting, but no COVID. At the time, it was the middle of the pandemic and we didn’t know how it was going to pan out. She thinks and still thinks COVID books won’t sell well because people just don’t want to read about it. So, the characters needed to be stranded there for some other reason.
