I like to write in silence although with builders in this week I have discovered I can write with a hammer drill in the next room. I write better in the mornings and preferably at the kitchen table with a view outside #ukteenchat
8, Do you have any writing rituals or a favourite place to write? @debbierox.bsky.social #ukteenchat #Flyboy

I am wearing my pantser undies right now! I am a total pantser who strives and fails to be a perfect plotter! But my brain likes the freedom to roam despite any constraints I try and impose #ukteenchat
That friendship is powerful and can change depending on the situation. In Flyboy Eddie gives Jude what he needs and vice versa #ukteenchat
6, What do you hope young readers might take away from Jude and Eddie’s friendship? @debbierox.bsky.social #ukteenchat #Flyboy

I have watched and loved the films but think a certain Stuart White and his Star Wars analogies lured me across to the vortex 😁 #ukteenchat
5, Jude and Eddie share a love of Star Wars, is this a little of your own interests creeping into the story? @debbierox.bsky.social #ukteenchat #Flyboy

The Star Wars set one surprised me most as it became a highly emotional chapter #ukteenchat
4, The book explores themes of illness, grief and first love while still making room for humour. How did you find the balance between those moments? @debbierox.bsky.social #ukteenchat #Flyboy

I chose challenges Eddie creates in order to get Jude out dating etc. The challenges morphed into a vehicle for Eddie to help Jude face a future without him. A couple were taken from Eddie’s original list #ukteenchat
3, Eddie gives Jude a bucket list. How did you choose the challenges on it, and did any of them surprise you as you wrote? @debbierox.bsky.social #ukteenchat #Flyboy

I overheard two boys I worked with discussing an emotional topic. One of them suddenly started speaking in the voice of Bart Simpson as a strategy to cope. I made Jude and Eddie huge Star Wars fans so they could slip into those character voices. #ukternchat
2, Was there anything in particular that inspired Flyboy? @debbierox.bsky.social #ukteenchat #Flyboy
