Jen, can you explain how you developed Shay's relationship with Kevin and the process of developing Lauren and Nick's relationship. How much of Nick's real life and experience did you use for their relationship?
--- End quote ---
At first, I wasn't going to make the guy Kevin, but somehow my description fit him to a T and I thought 'well, that would be an interesting twist.' I think sometimes the best ideas are the random ones. The end result of making Kevin an asshole also wasn't planned. Inititally I was going to have him end up marrying Shay, but the more I wrote, the more I realized that I wanted people to hate him instead. :)
As for Nicky, I love to use bits and pieces of Nick's real life in my stories. Even if it's just a random piece of Twitter-fact that I stick in. I won't deny that I love Nick and Lauren together so making them a couple in stories is extremely easy for me. I actually had a harder time towards the end because of the direction the story went.

Loved The Great Divide, Jen! I liked how you empowered Shay towards the end and had her stealing Nick away...it was awesome!
