Youve written your fair share of rom-coms.
Do you like to watch them as well?Yeah, I like slapsticky rom-coms likeBlockers.
I likeBridesmaids;thats hilarious.
I also really like action movies a lot mostly because of the superheroes in them.
I wish they had more romance in those because I feel like Id feel better about them.
They came back to me with this really cute, vibrant yellow color with the couple sharing a milkshake.
When Im watching a movie or reading a story, its that first meeting right?
Thats just a really awkward, weird situation.
Do you have your own meet-cute story?
I was in grade 9.
At some point in time, Ill write a YA and Ill write that in.
Not a meet cute, but a very embarrassing moment.
Id like to think that I would be cool, but Im pretty sure I wouldnt.
It couldve gone so many different ways.
They end up being in the same class and then its just embarrassing all over again.
Years later, he ends up in her office again, looking for help.
Thats where their story really begins.
Ginny Weasley getting with Harry Potter proved to readers that the fangirl could grow up and get the guy.
Are you offering us the same service?
(Laughs) Totally.
I was super thrilled when Ginny and Harry finally hooked up.
Im sure theres like a billion fan-fics about all of that.
I guess I am throwing the fan-girls a bone.
Its that ultimate dream, that you could actually fall in love with a real person.
Not just the character.
You get the real human being behind the actor or the roles they play.
I would never say that out loud.
Just think it in my head.
Theres an idea that its not real.
It is the one thing that most people are looking for in their entire lives.
Their whole worlds are built on relationships and love.
Lastly, what celebrity would you want to have your own meet-cute with?Jason Momoa.
I dont even have to think about that.
Hes married, sadly.
But we can just pretend hes not.
