Illuminate by Aimee Agresti

I think I wore the same sweater for, like, a week writing that ending.

And, naturally, when I have one good day, I get superstitious and try to duplicate it the next day: I wear the same thing, eat the same things, write sitting in the same spot.

It's exciting when you see everything you've plotted and planned falling into place. I've never run a marathon, but I imagine it's the same kind of adrenaline that kicks in on that last mile. When I got to the end of ILLUMINATE, those last 50 pages flowed out in a wild sort of frenzy. Nothing beats that feeling of having a really good writing day. What is your favorite part of the writing process? Oh, and best of all, it takes place at a ritzy hotel in Chicago. My heroine, Haven, is a 16-year-old straight-A student/social outcast/angel-in-training who finds herself pitted against a pack of gorgeous devils on a soul-buying spree. Gladly! ILLUMINATE is about angels and devils, selling souls, saving souls, falling in love, and a teen girl's path from meek to mighty. Can you tell us a little about your novel Illuminate?
