Lord Voldemort Interview With Veronica Roth

You may remember the Dark Lord @Lord_Voldemort7 from Twitter encouraged Potter fans to "fill the void" with Divergent previously. This time, in honour of the soon-to-be-released Insurgent, he has an interview with the brave author herself. Very dauntless! We can confirm she survived.

More 'Insurgent' Book Teasers!

More Insurgent teasers have been posted by the Official Divergent Facebook page.
If you haven’t seen it yet, here they are:

“’Can I ask why you’re throwing knives at cheese?’

‘Caleb came by to discuss something,’ Tobias says, leaning his head against the wall as he looks at me. ‘And knife-throwing just came up somehow.’

‘As it so often does,’ I say, a small smile inching across my face.”

And the second:

“I am tired of being Tris. I have done bad things. I can’t take them back, and they are a part of who I am. Most of the time, they seem like the only thing I am.”

What was the Inspiration Behind 'Divergent' the Book?

Author Veronica Roth answers this question on her blog:

What inspired you to write Divergent?
Without a doubt, this is the most frequently asked question of all the frequently asked questions, and that does not surprise me at all. I always want to know where my favorite authors get their ideas. And it seems pretty simple, because there was a precise moment when the writer started the story, and so it seems like there had to be a precise moment when they came up with the idea for it.

The thing is, for a lot of writers, it’s more complicated than that. For those of us who didn’t have a vivid dream, or ask ourselves a “what if” question, or any of the other concrete ways that ideas come to people, it’s actually difficult to answer. That’s why I give a different answer in every single interview I ever do– because at the moment that I am asked the question, I think of another, equally important, source of inspiration.

So in order to answer it, I’m going to give you the overly detailed explanation. But I’ll say, first, that Divergent really happened when a bunch of these pieces of inspiration suddenly coalesced in my mind as I was writing, and I got about thirty pages of a story from Four’s perspective down, and then set it aside because it wasn’t so good. It was only when I discovered Beatrice that I was able to write the full book, four years later.
