Hello r/Books! I'm Gillian Flynn, Author of Sharp Objects, Dark Places, and Gone Girl, screenwriter of Gone Girl, Sharp Objects, WIDOWS and UTOPIA. We meet again. AMA!
Post Body

I’ve written three novels — each one darker and meaner than the next. My novels (and my love of movies) led me into screenwriting, first for David Fincher's adaptation of my own Gone Girl and the HBO limited series of Sharp Objects, then the Viola Davis thriller WIDOWS, and most recently Amazon Prime's series UTOPIA, which I created and wrote.

I was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, and now live in Chicago, and the Midwest is where most of my stuff is set. (The Midwest is much weirder and creepier than it gets credit for). I drink a lot of coffee and chew stale Dubble Bubble when I write. I’m happy to answer questions about reading, writing, or pretty much anything else. I'll be back at 2pm CST to start answering questions...

Did the twist in Sharp Objects come in the beginning of the writing process for the novel? Or was it something you navigated through and figured out you wanted as you were writing?
