“I've always loved writing,” Lowndes continued. “When I moved to Los Angeles at 17, I was writing a screenplay, but I psyched myself out and decided to focus on acting and not spread myself too thin. In the last couple of years, I got inspired and restarted, so after auditions or whatever, I'd go home and write. It has now turned into me writing every day from 9 till 5 and I love it. It makes me so happy.”
The fact Over the Moon in Love was the first screenplay Lowndes sold made the experience “the coolest,” and while the project came with its challenges, some that left her wondering if it might ever see the light of day, she says that the project overall was “the most gratifying experience ever.
“As with anything I've done, I’m used to putting in the hard work and seeing rapid results,” she explained. “This is a very slow process. You pour yourself into something and it could be years before you see the finished thing. Seeing this as a whole … it just couldn't have been better.”
