Ellie: Do you have a title in mind for the book?
Jill: "We had thought about [Growing Up Duggar]. We are still trying to decide as far as what we actually want it to be, so it's not totally set in stone."
Ellie: Writing a book is a huge undertaking. How do you find the time to work on it?
Jill: "Yeah, it takes a lot of time, and that's what we're finding, it's very hard to find that time. It does make it a little bit easier that there are four of us working on it. Challenging in the way that we all have our own say, like 'Oh I think it should go this way, and I think we need to add this our take this out.' But the beauty of it is that we have all four of us working on it together, plus my parents. Since they have already written two books, they can add their wisdom in there, too."
More from Ellie's interview tomorrow (and the next day, and the next day).
awesome!
ReplyDeleteI don't think "Growing up Duggar" would be a good title. It reminds me of a book "Growing Up Brady" about the Brady Bunch.

It looks like the Bates' eight-show series will not be starting until August. We will post updates when we receive them.

I think the book will be great for the girls to get their own story! I can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting these. Will they go on a book tour when it's done?
ReplyDeleteWow, it's so awesome being able to hear about the book from your interview, Ellie! I think Growing up Duggar is a great title for the book. I really can't wait to read the rest of the interview this week! Did you interview Jill on the phone or by email, or some other way, Ellie? Thanks for having such a wonderful blog!

ReplyDeleteI think it's really cool that you got to talk with Jill! How did you reach them and figure out how to talk with her on the phone?
"I have also recently made it my personal conviction to dress modestly with below the knee length skirts and high-collared shirts"

ReplyDeleteHi Jessa,
The Bates' eight-show series is scheduled to begin in August.
We have spoken to the Duggars about our blog, and they totally approve of it. Our goal is to provide factual, encouraging information and to shed a positive light on their family.
Thanks for reading!
Lily and Ellie
