Sarah asked Kasie West:

I have read most of your books, and I have loved each and every one. I was just curious HOW you come up with your ideas? Each of your stories is cute and sweet. I was also curious how long it takes you to complete a story? I am writing a book on Wattpad, and it seems to be taking forever haha. Thanks, Sarah :D

Kasie West Thank you! Glad you enjoy my books. I come up with ideas in a lot of different ways, whether it be a movie I've watched that sparks an idea or a place I've visited or a character that comes to mind that I want to see in a story. Sometimes I'll get a plot first and try to find characters that would grow the most in that plot. It takes me about 3 months to draft my first draft and then several more months to edit it. Good luck with your writing! The more you write the more ideas come to you (at least that's how it works for me).

Danah Altassan asked Kasie West:

Dude, you have an amazing gift/superpower. I mean Caymen is an amazing name, unlike Kelly or Haley or Isabelle. I'm tired of the same regular names, especially for guys. Hayden is way better than Jack or Liam, and Xander is way better than Sam or Will. And these cool names always seem to work with the character. So how do you do it? Is it seriously a superpower?

A Goodreads user asked Kasie West:

Hi Kasie! What inspires you when writing? You have quite a few books so you must have a lot of inspiration. Do you get inspiration for anything or anyone in particular or do ideas just come to you?
