Before this she says that she would not write much before giving up the idea after only a few chapters for the book were completed. This was so she could go to grad school at Emerson College. She then decided to transplant herself, moving from London to Boston in 2016. Now she says that it’s been the best decision that she’s made. So she decided to try studying creative writing at graduate schools and give her passion a chance. It was just a year later when Wrobel found herself in between jobs doing freelance copy writing and found herself in the middle of a rut. The original purpose for this was so that her boyfriend could go to business school. With a serious boyfriend, the author moved to the city of London in 2014.

She would write and work to produce spots on television and radio, ads in print, digital campaigns and billboards for major brands and companies like Capital One and McDonald’s. Wrobel was a copywriter, then moved on to being an associate creative director in Chicago working for various advertising agencies.

So it was that she pursued strategic communication for her bachelor’s degree. Wrobel says that when it comes to being an author, it just did not appear to be a practical choice for her career and even unrealistic. She would write for fun when she was younger, and still wanted to do it, but knew that the difference between a hobby and doing it professionally was a big difference. The author admits that the hours that she put into creative writing did decline as she got older. She wrote a book about horses that reached an impressive hundred pages, but ultimately did not go anywhere. Even though she was technically in the 90th percentile when it comes to height, she thought that she could find a career as a jockey one day. She says that at the age of around 8 or 9 years old, she went through a phase where she was really into horses. Her mother helped her type it up and even added computer graphics to it. One of her early stories focused on a girl getting lost at the zoo, which ended happily. Not just a reader of books, Wrobel recounts that she wrote her fair share of stories too. She says that some of her early favorites were the Nancy Drew books, the Thoroughbred series, and the popular Baby-Sitters Club series. Inevitably she would pick out some books and fill the backpack up to the top with them. She says of her childhood that she can recall going to the library in the summer every two weeks and bringing her backpack along. She spent her time as a kid growing up in the city of Chicago in the suburbs.
