The Creation of Bring Me To Live
Guest Post by Nicole Thorn

​When I decided to write Bring Me To Life I was hoping for a darker story than I had done before. Something with a different tone than the light, funny stories I normally do. I’m still not sure if I quite got what I was aiming to do, but it came out as the story it needed to be. It kind of ended up feeling like a version of Snow White’s encounter with the Huntsman, with a humorous drop of–I’ll admit it–Stockholm Syndrome. Not really a way around that one. But for me, the focus was more about how they bonded over similar shades of brokenness. The characters had darker pasts than I was used to writing.
 
It was challenging, trying to be in the heads of these two characters in particular. Ezra far more than Anastasia.  He had so much grief that I was worried I wouldn’t be able to keep a hold on how he should be, and the arc his character went through. Making a serial killer lovable was about as hard as I thought it would be. Anastasia was far easier. She was snarky and apathetic. Thankfully, I am both of those things. So I had somewhere to draw from. All I had to do was start typing and the story felt like it was writing itself. It helped that I never seemed to know how a conversation was going to end between the two of them. They had a very thin line between love and hate.
 
The factor that really chose the tone were those characters. They had strong enough personalities that when they were dropped in a scene, they tended to push where it needed to go. Even when it was the opposite of my plan. Or if it undid things to come. I had to work around them. Much like spoiled children, really. I appeased them. My hopes are that it continues throughout the rest of the series, because I think the characters always know much better than I do when it comes to their actions and story.
 
Throughout the entire time I was writing the story, I depended heavily on my friend and occasional writing partner. She would tell me what was good and what I needed to pull back on. She helped with the construction of Ezra and who he was supposed to be. Without her, this wouldn’t be the book I love. The book that I hope a lot of people love like I do.
