I knew exactly how I wanted the scene to play out, but I couldn\u2019t write it. My sister Peyton is also a writer, and she ended up writing a rough outline of the scene to help me move past my block. I wouldn\u2019t say I was proud when I finished it, but I was definitely happy that I was done.<br \/>\n<!--more--><b>How long did you work on PAPER HEARTS?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Paper Hearts took forever! I worked on it for almost two years. I think the reason I struggled was because Paper Hearts was the first book I wrote that wasn&#8217;t serialized. I\u2019m used to writing on Wattpad, where I write and post one chapter at the time. The feedback I get from my readers influences where I go with the story, so to not have that support system was paralyzing. <\/p>\n<p><b>What are you working on now?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I am working on the third book in The Heartbreak Chronicles, which is called Heartstrings. It\u2019s about Xander, and one of the main characters is someone we briefly met in Paper Hearts. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>\nABOUT THE BOOK<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/o\/ASIN\/1492653365\/adveninchilds-20\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Order Paper Hearts\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/images.gr-assets.com\/books\/1486770902l\/33584564.jpg\" hspace=\"20\" vspace=\"20\" width=\"275\" \/><\/a><b>Paper Hearts<\/b><br \/>\n<b>by Ali Novak<\/b><br \/>\n<i>Paperback<\/i><br \/>\n<i>Sourcebooks Fire<\/i><br \/>\n<i>Released 7\/4\/2017<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Felicity has her entire future planned.
