gabriela asked Rebecca Jenshak:

Hey! I see you read a lot of YA books somewhat similar to what you write, does that make it harder not to accidently reproduce something you read in your own writing (I find myself doing it that sometimes), does it help inspire you to write or neither?

Rebecca Jenshak Great books and good writing always inspires me. As far as finding it hard not to reproduce, I have not found this to be an issue. I heavily outline and plot my books before writing so there really isn't an opportunity to get too far off track with other ideas that pop up.
