Hi I was just wondering,(and Im pretty sure this question has yet to be asked) So you have a plot whisperer named Kari Olson who occasionally helps you out with the plotting system and whatnot... So i thought "Maybe she knows all about the story and what's gonna happen" Well,is it true? I mean does she know where the story is going and so so?
Shannon Messenger
She knows some plot secrets (hence her nickname) in order to help me brainstorm through certain plot holes. But that doesn't mean she knows as much as you might think, since plot stuff and character secrets are two different things. Plus, the best way to know i've pulled off a trick is if NO ONE knows it's coming, so there are certain things I'll never tell anyone until I write it in the book and let them read.
