JILLIAN DODD
Hey everyone!! I’m Jillian Dodd, author of the That Boy series. That Boy and That Wedding as well as The Keatyn Chronicles!
AUTHOR INTERVIEW
1) What inspired you to start writing? Was there a person or moment that started you out on your career as an author?
It looks like those crazy dreams you’ve been having could be the next big story because Jillian’s writing career started as a result of her having dreams. She kept having dreams about the same people- but none of those people where her or anyone she knew. While her husband was working out of town, Jillian found herself with some free time and to keep herself from getting bored, she put those dreams into a story.
2) If you weren’t writing and living out your dream, what profession would be your dream job?
Writing has always been a dream for Jillian. She thought that she was already living her dream in her job as a buyer in the fashion industry. We agree- that’s a pretty cool job! But we’re glad Jillian found her way to writing!
3) What’s something about your writing process that you feel is unique to you or is just interesting that you can share with us?
Jillian describes her writing as schizophrenic. She sees scenes out of order and uses Scribner to put them all together. She writes as things come to her.
One thing that Jillian shared with me that I thought was neat is that “your characters grow with you.” Since her Keaton Chronicles started- to where they are now- her main characters have grown. It all sounds pretty cool, if you ask me.
