Wendy asked Jodi Ellen Malpas:

I am a huge fan of This Man Trilogy! I haven't read your second series YET, but it's on my list. I am an avid reader of women's fiction and I love to write myself but have never had any formal training and did not go to college. My question is, how does someone like me get started? I know all about self publishing but I haven't found direction. I am inspired by your story and my other favorite authors.

Jodi Ellen Malpas Thank you :-) I make notes in journals. Piece things together until I have a skeleton of a story. I think every writer has their own unique way of constructing a story, and I'm sure you'll find yours. It's trial and error. But definitely start with making notes :-)
