A Goodreads user asked Laini Taylor:

There are so many unanswered question in Strange the dreamer #1 but I'm alright waiting to get answer in the next book . I do want to know if you will be expanding on this world, that's, write more story on the world or characters, a dulogy just seems insufficient?

Laini Taylor Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy being in the world enough to want to hang out there for more stories :-) For now, it's just the duology that's planned, and you'll find out more in book 2 about the Mesarthim and...other stuff. And I'd love to write stories for some of the secondary characters, as well as write the myths and legends from the book, like the mahalath and the wingsmiths and things like that. It's all a matter of time. Also, I'm an intuitive writer. I can only discover so much by outlining. I mostly need to write the book to find out what happens, and what more there is to explore, so I won't really know what I want to do until I've finished this book. Cheers! Thanks for reading :-)

Mikayla asked Laini Taylor:

Your writing is so incredibly beautiful and wickedly haunting-- the images that you come up with are some of the strangest and most enchanting I've ever had the pleasure to read. As a writer, do you see these things in your mind's eye ahead of time and write them down or do they come to life on the page? What is your process for writing not the story, but all the pieces you fill in that make the story what it is?

Hey Laini! I've been wondering; how do you develop your characters? Which comes first, the characters or the world? Also, how do you come up with such unique names for your characters? Lastly, what type of notebooks do you recommend for a writer to use when developing/outlining their stories? Thanks so much!
