For example, in Unbreakable, I created a fictional secret society called the Legion of the Black Dove. So I create a foundation that includes an aspect of history, science, etc., before I add my fictional elements. It’s easier for readers to suspend disbelief if fantasy is mixed with facts. Research fuels my writing in an equally important way. Whenever I feel stuck while writing, all I have to do is stand in front of that wall, or play around with the stack of photos waiting to be added, and something will come to me. In my new office, I currently have an entire wall covered with photos, charms, poetry, and quotes related to Unbreakable-the first book in my new series, the Legion. But I’m a tactile person, and one of the things I love to do is spread the images all over the floor and move them around to create settings or moods that correspond to different elements of my universe. Before I had an office, Pinterest served as my virtual inspiration board. Please give a warm welcome to Kami Garcia, folks!Įverything I write begins with an inspiration board that I fill with photos, quotes, and song lyrics that evoke the spirit of the project. The first book in a planned series, Unbreakable is Kami’s second solo novel effort (she’s also one of the authors behind the Beautiful Creatures books – recently adapted to film).
Today we are very excited to have Kami Garcia over to talk about her new book, YA paranormal thriller Unbreakable.
