I have read several books by co-authors Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings -- you may know them by their combined pen name, Christina Lauren -- and absolutely loved all of them. I was dying to pick their brains and hear about their creative process for writing books since there are two of them.

What we covered: 

• How Christina and Lauren each got into writing initially
• How they first met and decided to become writing partners 
• What their creative process looks like for writing books 
• How long it takes for them to write a book from start to finish 
• How real life impacts their creative process and ability to write 
• Do they ever disagree on the plot or ending of a story? 
• How their writing style has evolved over time 
• Their favorite book they’ve ever written 
• Where do they find inspiration to write their stories 
• Who are their favorite authors / books 
• Will any of their books ever be turned into a movie? 
• And more!
