We interviewed the author of Scary Mommy's last Book Club pick. (Join the discussion in ScaryMommyBooks)
Carley Fortune: It’s quite surreal honestly. Two years ago, I had just started writingand I wrote the book for myself. I wanted to show myself I could write a book. It was something I had always wanted to do, but never thought I could get around to. I set out to write something for me; something that I’d like to read, with no intention of publishing it. So to even have a book out in the world was so unreal for me.
No, I didn’t. I, as a journalist, am really drawn to narrative nonfiction and creative story packaging. I always found my job quite creative, so I didn’t find it challenging in that way; but, I did find it very liberating to switch from writing nonfiction to fiction.I didn’t know what happened next and then it dawned on me for the first time that I could just make it up! That makes me seem quite simple, but it hadn’t occurred to me that the story lives and breathes in your mind.
No, I didn’t! I knew Sam was her person. I love Charlie. He was my favorite character to write, he and Delilah were. I really like him and I think he has a really good heart. But, I knew that [Charlie and Percy] was not the story., I just had so much fun with them and I think secondary characters are often like that. They’re all about how they affect your primary characters. Charlie and Delilah are antagonistic in some ways, which is really fun to do with your characters.
