Lissa asked Genevieve Cogman:

I have what may seem like an odd question. I love writing, I couldn't stop writing even if I wanted to, but I have tendency to feel detached from what's happening on my page. This is the exact opposite of what happens when I read a good story from someone else. When you are writing exciting/tense scenes, do you feel that excitement/anxiety? Can't wait to read Lost Plot! It will be in my hands tomorrow at last!

Genevieve Cogman I'm afraid I can't give a better answer than "it varies". Sometimes I do feel the excitement, but at other times I'm more detached, and all about the metaphorical camera angles and direction of the action. I don't think there is a "right" answer here - whatever works for you.

I hope that you enjoy The Lost Plot!
