Behind the Scenes: The Writing Journey of Glimpses of You

When I first sat down to write Glimpses of You, I had no idea how emotionally intense the journey would be. Every chapter, every scene, every word has been a reflection of the deep internal struggles of the characters, especially as they navigate the complexities of love, loss, and redemption.

Where It All Started:

This story wasn’t just an idea that popped into my head one day—it was something that grew from little moments I experienced or witnessed, slowly turning into a narrative. From early brainstorming sessions, where I tried to understand what made Liam and Harper tick, to the late-night rewrites that pushed me to dig deeper into their emotions, it’s been a long but rewarding road.

Character Evolution:

Liam and Harper weren’t fully developed when I first started writing—they evolved as I wrote, and their voices grew clearer with each draft. Harper’s resilience and vulnerability, in particular, took on new layers as I explored her love for art and how she uses it as an outlet for the emotions she struggles to verbalize. Meanwhile, Liam’s struggle with his past mistakes shaped the core conflict of the story.

The Challenge of Writing Deep Emotional Conflicts:

There were moments where writing felt like therapy. Delving into themes of regret, forgiveness, and self-acceptance required me to explore some heavy emotions myself, and there were times when I had to step away and take a breather before coming back to the story. I wanted their journey to feel authentic, so I didn’t shy away from letting them feel broken or uncertain.

A Peek Into My Writing Process:

Every author has their own way of bringing stories to life, and for me, it’s a mix of plotting and spontaneous writing bursts. I created detailed outlines for major plot points, but some of the most intense scenes were written in the heat of the moment, as if the characters themselves were guiding the story.

As I move closer to the final stages of Glimpses of You, I can’t wait to share this emotional journey with all of you. There’s something special about seeing the characters finally reach a place of healing and understanding, and I hope their story resonates with you as much as it has with me.
