"I've been writing the book for the past 18 months because when I write, I have to be totally by myself and isolated," said Wilson.
"It's just been this secret thing I've been doing by myself for 18 months. It's so exciting now that it's done," she added.
The 'Senior Year' actress also opened up that she struggled to write the opening of the book. "I think the first few chapters were really s**t," said Wilson.
"Then the editor was like, ‘This just doesn't sound like you.’ So what I started doing is I just sat there by myself as if I'm just telling the story to a friend. I just kind of found my writing style — as if I'm sitting opposite my friend, telling you all my life's deepest secrets, which is a bit scary," she said.
In November, Wilson celebrated the first birthday of her daughter Royce Lillian.
