The Shit No One Tells You About Writing · June Bonus Episode · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

So both times, both with this book and with Pineapple Street, I knew the twist.

I knew the pivot before I knew anything else.

And I wrote to get there.

The problem is you can't talk about it when you're in the jacket copy.

You can't talk about it right away.

And I felt with Pineapple Street so frustrated because

For me, like the most interesting thing about Pineapple Street is when, and I feel okay to give like some minor spoilers away on that book because it's years in the past.

I felt okay.

I felt like the most interesting thing about Pineapple Street for me was that this rich girl has a terrible loss and decides to give all her money away, but it's harder than she thinks.

But I couldn't write on the back of the jacket or talk about on my press tour

this girl decides to give her money away because it happened three quarters of the way through the book.

And it was frustrating because for me, that was the idea I was writing to.

And yet it would have ruined the reading experience to talk about it too much.

And now I've done it again.

For me, one of the central ideas of this book is the thing that Caroline does.

And I've made it so that I can't talk about it and promoting it.

So good job, Jenny.

But I will say that both times around, I sort of enter into the novel writing...

process with a few big ideas and themes in mind.

And this is the action theme.
