I’m what’s colloquially called a plantser, meaning I half plan my stories, and half pants them (aka “writing by the seat of my pants”). To face devastation, betrayal, and deep anger like that-to reclaim power in some way-as a teen girl really spoke to me.Ĭan you describe your writing process? Are you a pre-plotter or do you develop the plot as you write? I really love the original Count of Monte Cristo, and I thought it would be interesting to spin the story through the lens of a teenage girl rather than an adult man. What was your initial inspiration for Scavenge the Stars? What was it about The Count of Monte Cristo that made you want to reimagine it? And, as the overzealous fangirl I am, I actually asked 9 questions! So while you anxiously await your copy of Ravage the Dark to arrive, meet Tara! I got to chat with Tara Sim about retelling this classic tale, her writing process, and Indian representation. Ravage the Dark is finally here, and I am here for it! The finale to this gender-bent retelling of The Count of Monte Cristo is just what the doctor ordered.
