More from Jennifer
MacGyver might have come from my family tree. I grew up hearing
stories of how my grandpa turned a horse trailer into a travel trailer
for camping and how he finagled something out of what he had if he
didn’t have the actual thing he needed. I grew up seeing my dad do this.
And I’ve been known to do it a time or two myself.
My grandpa grew up during the Great Depression, so I could see how
making do with what he had came to him naturally. The rest of us saw the
usefulness of it and continued the tradition. Even though there are
times I’ve stopped and said, “I should just go by the thing I need
instead of trying to make do.” Maybe it would have saved me some time
and frustration.
But there is something satisfying about seeing a problem and creating
the solution yourself. It’s like solving a puzzle. And for me, writing a
book is a lot like that. I start out with various pieces and no idea
how they are going to fit together.
When I began Over Her Head, it was the third book of my In
the Shadow series. This series explores the idea of what it’s like to
grow up in the shadow of a hero. Jessica’s brother, Scott, is a Navy
pilot. Their oldest brother died before Jessica was born, so she’s
always felt like she’s been in the shadow of her older brothers. How
would she become her own person and find the purpose that God has for
her?
That was one piece. A big one. But I still needed to find a love
interest, a plot, and a supporting cast. I started sorting through what I
had, looking for pieces that could fit, could be molded into something
new and different. A trip to the hair salon provided a fun conversation
with my hair stylist about what a newly graduated cosmetology student
might be doing and the politics of working in a salon.
The pieces were coming together. Finally, I decided to set the story
around one of my favorite activities: camping. Okay, maybe it’s more
like glamping. I like a real bed. But it is a great way to force a
group of people to be close together for a period of time. There’s an
element of stress, and even danger, since nature isn’t predictable.
Hopefully the end product looks smoothly finished and not MacGyvered
together. But I don’t ever let the rough beginning or different looking
pieces discourage me from pressing on with the story. And I think that’s
a good lesson for life. What rough spots need a little creativity to
bring them to life and smooth them out? Spend some time letting your
inner MacGyver play.
