What was your favofite scene to write?
I have a few favourite scenes. I really liked writing when she and Nick went out to dinner that first time they met up again. It was really fun to portray them in such a different way than I had in the past chapters. Though I also really enjoyed writing the part where Ashleigh and Joey run into Nick for the first time at the club. It was really amusing for me to write her reaction, because of course she's a fan, so she's already freaked about meeting him, much less having him hit on her and try to take her back to his hotel room, lol.
Do you have a favorite line?
I actually do! It's in chapter 24 (so close to the end) when Ashleigh is finally telling Matt everything that's been going on with Nick. Of course he doesn't believe her and tells her that she's nuts. She says:
"I'm not f***ing crazy! I am, however, f***ing Nick Carter!" lol so yes that has always been my favourite line in the story.
What chapter did you struggle withthe most?
Chapter 5, when they sleep together for the first time. It was hard because first of all I hate writing sex scenes, but it was neccecary for this story since so much (or pretty much all) of Ashleigh and Nick's relationship in the past was based on the physical stuff. So I hate writing visuals, plus I had to make it as not intimate as possible so that was a challenge. I still don't really like how that chapter turned out, but I'm not about to go back and rewrite it so it's good enough haha
Weirdly enough, I also had some trouble with the chapter where Ashleigh goes to visit Nick in Florida. The scene with the two of them on the boat did not come out at all how I had originally pictured it, but it seemed to fit so I kept it how it is. But Nick was supposed to be a lot more smooth... instead he kind of stumbled over his words and didn't know what to say. I guess that worked better though because Nick isn't really supposed to be a smooth guy in this situation, he's supposed to not really know what to do, and to be somewhat vulnerable. Does that make sense? The point was that he and Ashleigh have (sort of) switched places. The first time they were together, he held all the control. The second time, every major decision in the relationship is hers.
Anymore questions for me? Also if you guys have questions about My Happy Ending (the sequel) I'm okay with that too
