Kathy, thanks for guest blogging here today and sharing the difficult and easy part of writing this book.įor a little background on Kathy. I’m glad I did, I feel like it has more meaning. I ended up changing the plot after my dad died. But at the same time, it forced me to address deeper issues with my characters. It was hard because every so often I would stop and remember that he wouldn’t be around to read it and it made me sad. My dad died right before I started writing the book. The story of Daisy de la flora came easy too, I felt like she was by my side for the whole book writing experience! To her, there are no obstacles, only minor detours. She is overly optimistic and a very hard worker. KATHY - The easiest part was building the character of Scarlet.
