Caitlyn

Caitlyn asked Destiny Soria:

When you begin a story, does it begin with a character, a setting, a plot, or etc.? And how do you flesh out the idea from that first inkling? Thank you!

Destiny Soria Hi Caitlyn, it varies from project to project, but I'd say it usually begins with a "What if?" question that pops into my head at inopportune moments. For example, Iron Cast sprang from "What if poets, musicians, and other artists had their own type of magic?". After that, I write, write, write, until a story starts to take shape, following all the bunny trails I find along the way. Then I revise, revise, revise, rinse, repeat.

Thanks for the question!

I read the letter you wrote in the front of the ARC copy and I wanted to thank you SO much for writing a book with such a strong message of loyal, fun, crazy female friends!! They were so strong together, which for me made their adventure so much more realistic and readable. Thanks! Do you have a sequel planned?
