A Goodreads user asked Malorie Blackman:

How do you muster your thoughts into constellations? What I really mean to ask is that how do you put them into words?

Malorie Blackman One thought at a time, one word at a time, one sentence at a time, one page at a time. And then I can go back and hone, rework and re-edit. It's like working on a framework which you need to finish and then you can go back and add flesh to those bones but you need a solid framework first. That would be how I muster my thoughts into story constellations. (I love your question and the way you phrased it by the way.)

Elena asked Malorie Blackman:

Will there be more about Sephy and Callum's childhood/alternate ending? I loved the first book and wanted to read more about them and was slightly disappointed when the next books focused on the younger generation (I still liked them though!)
