Eny asked Cate C. Wells:

Hi Cate, I love your books. May I ask what your writing process is? Do you outline? How do you edit? More so, what was your process when plotting and writing The Tyrant Alpha's rejected mate? It's my favorite of yours! (and one of my all-time favorites, such an amazing job you did there!)

Cate C. Wells I'm so stoked that you're loving the books! I do lightly plot the beats/scenes of the story, but then I'm always changing things as I learn the characters and their backstories. In Tyrant Alpha, I had NO IDEA about what happened when they were children until it kind of came to me as I was writing. That was magic, and it doesn't happen a lot. (I wish it did.) I have a writing coach who I work with every month, and we go back and forth on a chapter, honing my skills. When the book is finished, it goes to my coach, my editor, and beta readers, and then I polish it like a diamond until I can't stand it anymore, and then it goes to my proofreader(s). I'm really lucky to have a team of reliable, skilled editors. I'm blessed. :)
