_John_ asked Travis McBee:

When you write a book do you already have the entire plot already worked out or do you just come up with a basic premise and run with it? With the middle and end still to be decided

Travis McBee With some books I'll have the entire thing either plotted out or at least planned in my head, but I usually write without knowing where exactly it's going to go. Sometimes I'll think I know what's going to happen, but it ends up being completely different.

A Goodreads user asked Travis McBee:

When writing a short story, do you typically write the whole thing, or do you set a goal for your word count? I just started writing my own short stories and find myself only writing 2000 words a day. How many words should a beginner write a day? Thanks so much!

Tuan asked Travis McBee:

Have you ever thought about becoming a corporate drone for about 2/3 years to get a full salary or to save up till you are financially able to devote a significant amount of time to write and live in convenience?
