Kimaya Mathew asked Laura Nowlin:

I am really delighted by all your answers to readers, Laura. Especially your honesty, where you said that you will not continue with the sequels or prequels for this stand alone novel. Not read the book entirely, just started with it; but yes, do tell me where do you get your writing inspirations from?

Laura Nowlin Hi Kimaya,
Sorry it took me so long to answer this. In terms of IHHBWM, I was significantly inspired by a dream I had. I also took a lot from my own life, but it's almost like a took different elements of my life and put them in a blender. There is no one to one correlation with anything in my real life. Sorry to be so vague, but the creative process is kind of a mess!
