I can find inspiration in a film, a series, a song, a dream, a shower thought…My brain never turns off, so I am inspired by life in general. Whether it’s a woman sitting alone at a coffee shop humming a song or a couple yelling at each other in a car passing by me. I’m quite literally inspired by everything around me. What inspires you as a writer, in general? The frustration I built over a decade and a half is what inspired me to write this series. We don’t vote for them to have better pay or less deployments. We often say things like “thank you for your service” to soldiers who return home, but we don’t actually take the time to think about what they’ve gone through. I was married at eighteen and lived at an Army post, meeting a lot of young wives and being married to someone who deployed three times before the age of twenty-three was a lot. My grandpa and uncle both retired from the service. Not word for word by any means, but I was married to a soldier for fifteen years and grew up in an Army family.
The Falling was definitely inspired by events in my life. What were some things that inspired THE FALLING? We are so excited to bring you this exclusive Q&A with author Anna Todd! Anna’s new novel, The Falling, is available now.
