Where did you get the inspiration for the love triangle?
As far as love triangles go, I think they are hard
to do, to be honest. I really wanted to make sure Jewel didn’t come across as
fickle or taking advantage of two guys. So I was inspired to write a love
triangle with that in mind. I think most girls can like more than one guy at a
time when they’re young and dating and trying to figure things out. That’s totally
normal. So, firstly, I wanted the love triangle to be realistic of course. But
I also wanted Jewel to have good reasons for questioning how she’s feeling—not
only about her life in general—but about the boys. She questions who she can
trust and if she can follow her heart, or if it is leading her astray. Writing
it a different way where the girl is going with different guys for pure fun
would be cool too and realistic, don’t get me wrong. It’s just not what I saw
Jewel doing. To make it simple, my inspiration was to give Jewel good reasons… to kiss two boys. J
