I just binge read all of your work. amazing. so captivating. I just wanted to know what your writing process looked like?
Blake Crouch
Thank you! I'm so thrilled to hear it. My writing process differs widely depending on the book, but it generally begins with several months of taking notes and journaling until I land upon the idea I want to pursue. From there I try to write 500-1000 words/day. I generally know what happens up to the midpoint and have a few notions of how to end the book. The specifics slowly reveal themselves as I move forward.

Blake Crouch:
One major common problem from science thriller friction is that they always start with a very brilliant beginning and progress with a lot of fascinating plots through to the 2/3 of the book, but only heads to the direction of a too-disasterous-to-fix-now ending. However, both of the books do not suffer from this issue! Did you plan the whole story before writing to achieve this? I enjoyed both books so much!

Hi Blake! Firstly, thanks for the signed & personalized copy of Recursion (My buddy Sean from Durango sent it from your book release - Loved it). Dark Matter is one of my favorite sci-fi books of all time. I've read Run, Recursion and just finished the Wayward Pines trilogy (I want more, but totally respect your decision to let it end how it did). My question for you...what should I read next? Pick one for me!
