Andrew✌️ asked Nelou Keramati:

This book is part of a series. When did you start writing this one, you had already in mind the main story? Or you develop it, going forward, following the inspiration?

Nelou Keramati I'm a big advocate of structuring a narrative. It's easy to be carried away on tangents, but a structure (containing the major turning points) really helps keep that in check. Within this framework I allow my mind to wander, dialogues to flow, and scenes to play out in an organic manner. So once the skeleton is formed, the 'fleshing out' of the story still feels creatively unconstrained.
As for The Fray Theory (which I started working on in 2014), I know exactly how the story will 'end' so to speak, and what major events I intend to incorporate, but the 'how' (or even how many books there will be) is where the flexibility comes in. :)
