Your recent book was decent but the unnatural relationship makes it a 1/5. Why did you feel the need to include this? Make it less obvious that you have an agenda.
Stuart Gibbs
How is expressing what is common and natural an agenda? That's like saying that there are trees is having an agenda. Hundreds of people wrote to me, pointing out that I had included many heterosexual crushes and relationships in my books but no other kinds and they asked that I consider being more inclusive. I felt they all had a good point and that it was morally correct to be more inclusive. It saddens me that you feel this relationship is 'unnatural.' To me, there is nothing more natural than two people being in love.

Hey, I just wanted to know abut your outlining process Mr. Gibbs. Do you outline your books from the beginning to the end or do you first create the problem, then figure out its solution and then work backwards and write the plot around the problem and its solution? BTW I love you Spy School and Fun Jungle series.
