Janice asked Cheryl Bolen:

How long does it typically take you to plot out a book?

Cheryl Bolen Every book is different, Jan. Sometimes I can envision an entire plot in a day. Sometimes I only know the beginning and end when I start a book and plot points come to me as a write--during the five-month process of writing a book.
