BOLU BABALOLA: It wasn’t a jump!
I have always written novels.
I started writingHoney & Spic eway beforeLove In Colorwas even a glimmer in my eye.
It isn’t less work- far from it.
The only difference with a novel is that it is sustained.
The golden rule of romance is happily-ever-after or at least happy for now.
They’re kids in the first book!
Does their love grow too?
Did they need to grow apart to make it be together properly?
What’s more fun to write?
Enemies to lovers/fake dating or second chance romance?
I love both!!
Your writing is always so striking in its deeply poetic and lyrical approach.
How did you hone that style?
Wow, thank you so much!
I am not sure.
Do you want to write novels for any of the supporting characters inHoney & Spice?
Never say never, but I think sometimes it’s best to leave the world alone.
I wouldn’t want to ruin anything lol!
How would describeSun Under Skinin three words?
