Nienke
Nienke asked Joshilyn Jackson:

Could you tell us about your writing habits? Where, when, and how do you work? Thanks, Nienke Hinton

Joshilyn Jackson I work all over -- mostly in the morning. Have laptop, will travel. I work in coffee houses a lot, or in the library, or sometime sin my own bed with all the animals piled up around me. I am trying to learn discipline and write every day, but I still tend to write for HOURS AND HOURS for a few days and get nothing else done, then I'll have a stretch of days where I may not write at all as I have let so many things pile up. I draft fast, dirty, and bad, then fix it over weeks. I spend probably 80% of my time revising--- Thanks for asking.

Hey Joshilyn...how would an overly anxious reader, me, lol get her hands on a signed copy of Never Have I Ever? My favorite book tuber got ahold of an ARC and raved about it....I would live to read it and display a signed copy! 😊

Kia
Kia asked Joshilyn Jackson:

Where do you get your ideas? I've loved everything I've read by you and love the voice of your main characters. Do they "come" to you fully formed or do you have to spend lots of time with them to find out who they are?

Alison
Alison asked Joshilyn Jackson:

The Almost Sisters has lots of references to Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" that I really enjoyed. Was the short story the inspiration for that novel?
