Shannon Pemrick

Shannon Pemrick asked Ed Ireland:

When writing, do you work chronologically or bounce around through the story as inspiration hits?

Ed Ireland I keep a detailed account of things happening and then as the story progresses, I'll reference my list to insure the proper flow. In my series books, I'll often have lists from previous books open as well to maintain that flow across books as well.

A Goodreads user asked Ed Ireland:

People always ask authors who inspired then the most, or who they really look up to as an artist. So, I want to know; is there anyone/a book that was so awful that it inspired you to write something better?
