“The sky is always beautiful. Even
when it’s dark or rainy or cloudy, it’s still beautiful to look at. It’s my
favorite thing because I know if I ever get lost or lonely or scared, I just
have to look up and it’ll be there no matter what...and I know it’ll always be
beautiful.” –
Colleen Hoover
Colleen
Hoover wrote her first novel Slammed
with no intention of being published; just getting the words on paper while
they were in her head. The Sulphur
Springs, Tex., resident was inspired by a line from an Avett Brothers song that
said “Decide to be and go with it.”
Throughout her first book, she refers to other lyrics from that same
song “Head full of doubt/Road full of promise.”
And so
she went with writing and Slammed became the first of 6 best-selling YA books. Definitely a testament to following your
instincts – always a good trait for someone who wants to try writing.
