Fun Facts About Writing Timeless Legacy:
- I'm not great at naming characters, so I kept Harry's name as is, created "Morgian" from "Morgie," and used Google to find "Elina," which means "bright light."
- From the start, I knew Morgian would be important to Red's story.
- Originally, I planned to send Harry to Auradon, but I loved his dynamic with Uma and Gil too much, so I created Elina instead.
- I struggled with developing Elina's character at first.
- I enjoyed writing original verses for Elina to sing, rather than just giving her the same lines as the other characters.
- Initially, I considered pairing Elina with Ben and Mal with Evie.
- Maddox was inspired by a reader's suggestion, but I had to age him down a bit to fit the story.
- I wanted Maddox and Ben to stand out as unique characters, though I'm not sure if that fully came across.
- Originally, Elina was going to start with Maddox and end up with Ben, but I liked the idea of her following in her mother's footsteps with a poly relationship.
- I love that each kid in the story is close to their mother in different ways.
- Many plot points in this book were the result of spontaneous decisions.
- I wanted Blanc to retain some of her princess qualities and not lose everything from her past.
- I briefly considered pairing Uma and Mal together, but Harry and Mal's chemistry won out.
- Harry wasn't supposed to have two girlfriends—it just happened naturally as the story progressed.
- I toyed with the idea of Audrey and Elina getting together.
- The Audrey-loves-Elina subplot was unplanned and evolved on its own.
- It was challenging to include Mal in significant decisions without overshadowing Elina's unique plot, so I made Mal a royal advisor to give Elina her own space to grow.
- For a brief moment, I thought about pairing Chad with Elina, but I quickly scrapped that idea.
- I actually forgot that Elina had the Looking Glass until the last moment in the story.
- From the very beginning, I planned for Audrey to steal Blanc's wand for Elina.
