Inciting Events

Fun Facts / Information

This is just a little chapter to tell you some things you might not know. Like little bits about characters and how I came up with the title, etc. Hope you enjoy!

The Making Of The Book:

- This story wasn't actually called 'Inciting Events' when I first started writing. It was originally called 'Si Te Atreves A Amar', which means 'If You Dare To Love' in Spanish. I scrapped that title because I was writing for an English audience, so a Spanish title didn't seem to make sense. I could've called the book 'If You Dare To Love' but I thought it sounded cheesy. After a really long brainstorming session, though, I eventually came to the name 'Inciting Events' because it sounded really cool.

- For the book cover, I took a pen and taped it to my wall, and edited it a bit with lighting and coloring until I was satisfied with it. If you also look at some of my other books, you'll also notice a pattern of this pen being in the cover as I've decided to use it as a form of branding. I don't know why that specific pen, but that was just what I ended up on. Also, the font used on the cover is called 'DM Serif'.

- At the start of this book, I had no idea it would take such a dark turn in some respects, but it did.
