✈️ FUN FACTS ✈️
These are just some cute little fun facts about... Well, everything!
I hope you guys enjoy ;)
✈️
- I wrote most of this book in a couple of days! It was super easy to write, which is why I'm not as proud of it :) I feel like it's just a cop-out of a book, not a true book because it was so easy to write.
- Jaxon and Sarah were supposed to have a whole sun and sky metaphor, with their favorite colors you know? But it never happened XD Everything was already written and I didn't want to change it all. I tried to include it near the end... Don't know how well that turned out :|
- The song lyrics were actually meant to be annoying, LOL, but instead they ended up being meaningful! It was really surprising to see that people actually enjoyed them!
- Sarah has a lot of similarities to me :) I never intended it though... I guess when you write, you put a little piece of yourself into your work.
- I don't know how I came up with Jaxon's name... And I why I called him Jaxon and not Jackson. Blame the Gilmore Girl re-runs I watched while writing ;)
- Sarah's name actually comes from a childhood friend of mine who defended me from bullies. I've lost touch with her, but she was my best friend... My friend and the character don't share any characteristics though :)
- I was actually super nervous about my grammar in the book cause it would be a lot more noticeable! You know, cause of the dialogue and stuff... I still don't know what to capitalize :/
- This story is set in the U.S.
- Jaxon has been sitting on the runway a month before Sarah enters the picture.
- Jaxon's original plan was to run away, run from all of the pressure of the family business. BUT, he knew it was wrong so he spent time watching airplanes to try and feel alive, to escape that black and white Times New Roman font :)
- Sarah has actually been through a lot. She switched from foster home to foster home and finally left the system when she turned eighteen and got a full paid scholarship for college. Yeah, she's super smart :)
- In the last chapter (50) Sarah says she didn't want to live... Yes, she was contemplating suicide, but she would never go through with it. Sarah is a very strong person, she wouldn't ever harm herself.
- Jaxon is around 20/21 and Sarah is around 18/19... This was done for a reason guys. At 21 Jaxon is officially taking over the company. And they both have to be able to drive! Also, I wanted both of them to have a lot of independence.
- Sarah's parents' plane crash destination was also significant. Anyone remember it? It was California. I was actually in a car accident there when I was eleven... Had some pretty bad injuries and some pretty bad memories.
- Sarah can sing, dance, and play the following instruments: guitar, piano, clarinet, drums (only a little) and a harmonica.
- Jaxon has an older sister... And has seen all the Twilight movies ;P (He's Team Edward)
- Sarah is an only child, but she wishes she has an older brother (this was mentioned in the chapter with Michael)
- Oh, speaking of! Michael was NOT an intended character! Neither was the security guard. I just thought it would be cool to see other people interact with #Saxon ;)
- By the way... Saxon is my favorite ship name ;D
- I'm worried I'm putting too many smiley/emoji faces ^.^
- The airplane symbol/emoji! I thought it was perfect and I definitely wanted to use it! I even looked up how it would look on a computer screen because I use the app.
- All of Sarah's song lyrics are actually mine :)
- Surprisingly, Sarah doesn't like to read! She tolerates it but doesn't read for fun.
- The cover! I actually made it, there's a really cool story behind this, so listen up!
One day, my family and I went to a a beach party/get-together thing. I didn't know anyone there and I was super bored, just making random phone covers on my phone.
Then, all of a sudden, I heard a really loud whirring sound. It was an Airplane! The private beach was located near the airport. The planes were flying overhead, and it was such a beautiful day!
So, naturally, I decided to take some pictures. I wanted to get a picture of the underbelly of the plane. Later that day I made the cover for Airplanes thinking that I could use it for someone else, just chane the author's name... I ended up using it for my own book :)
The picture above is another cover I made that day.
Pretty cool story, huh?
- I wanted this book to have exactly 50 chapters (55 with extra stuff or 60) cause I'm just a bit OCD and I like nice round numbers.
- In high school, Jaxon was actually a really mysterious kid. He kept to himself but he wasn't a bad boy.
- In high school, Sarah was popular! Surprise! Now before ya'll start objecting (yes I said ya'll) she wasn't cheerleader or mean girl popular. She was just the girl who was bright and funny and was basically everyone's friend. She's honestly a kind soul, a saint even.
- Sarah's favorite food = fries
- Jaxon's favorite food = cookies
- Clothing Styles! Jaxon has more of a typical guy style: khaki cargo pants, and regular T-shirts. But he secretly likes plaid shirts and sunglasses ;)
- Sarah on the other hand, is more of your typical cool chic style with a little bohemian style: skinny jeans and some skirts, basically any type of top from fancy to causal, and Converse no matter what. She secretly likes colorful scarves and leather jackets though ;)
- When Sarah was little, she was obsessed with Disney and wanted to be a princess. (Her fav princess was Ariel because she thought Prince Eric was cute c;) (Also because Ariel loved to sing)
- You are free and even encouraged to imagine how characters look in your head, but I always imagined Sarah as a blond just because my childhood friend had blond hair as well :)
- Sarah wasn't supposed to have blue eyes... But it just seemed so perfect for Jaxon to say it! So, now she has blue eyes LOL!
- Jax likes to run, but he was on the soccer team in high school.
- The cliché question: Would you rather go out to a party or curl up with a good book?
Jaxon and Sarah would party, LOL!
- I should be doing math homework but instead I'm typing this out for you guys...
- I update and do everything on Wattpad from my phone. Which is why some of my activity is limited.
- Sarah's favorite ice cream flavor is strawberry.
- Jaxon's favorite ice cream flavor is chocolate.
- @thebestsingerever's favorite ice cream flavor is chocolate too ;)
- So, two people, TWO PEOPLE! Wrote dialogue books, and they said I was their inspiration. Whoa, I don't know how I'm an inspiration, but okay! Haha, so both of them told me, and I checked them out, and they were great! They deserve a shoutout, so here they are:
café by crazygirlmnm
AND
Hairstyles by @Maxwell_S
Thank you both so so much! It's an absolute honor c:
- This is at the beginning of the book, but this was inspired by stereoactive (Pizzeria Boy and Psychic Chic) and bamboozling (Dreamers and Cocoa Kisses) both are so talented, please check out their works as they totally deserve it!
- My mom thinks I'm addicted to Wattpad LOL!
- I get email notifications and regular notifications so I read every single one of your comments twice and I usually always respond :)
- Your comments and votes literally get me through my day. Honestly.
- The reads/comments/votes thing at the bottom of each chapter? That's just my status bar... Where my book was when I published the chapter :) I was worried people might think it was a goal or something so I put the <- things. The <- things were also my way of putting an author's note... I know the A/N's distract from the story so I try to eliminate them as much as I can.
- I'm super bad at math. Which is why I should be studying instead of this. Oops?
- Whoa! I just hit a 1000 words! Yay!
- Sarah's favorite school subject is, surprisingly, NOT related to music! She's actually a science nerd ;P
- Jaxon always wanted to learn how to play guitar because he thought girls would dig it. Never got around to actually learning though.
- Surprisingly, my writing doesn't reflect what I'm feeling at the time... Actually they tend to be the complete opposite!
- Ummm... What else would you like to know? LOL! Feel free to ask me anything and everything, I don't bite :)
- Question: Are you really the best singer ever?
- Answer: That's for me to know, and YOU to find out when I become famous ;)

If you have any questions please comment! You can ask anything you want, whether it be silly or serious :)
