First things first, I just finished Neverseen (After 3 weeks begging my mom to buy it) I really loved it I finished it in like 2 days! Once I finished it I was heart-broken, (I won't say why because of spoiler) and I was moping around my friends for 3 days!!! You should of seen me :) Anyways, my question is, as a author, do you plan everything that's going to happen out? Or do you improvise?

Shannon Messenger I don't plan everything. But I do plan the big things. And when it comes to secrets characters are hiding, I always know that kind of thing. You can't write a series this complicated without knowing that stuff--It would turn into a hot mess way too quickly!
