Kait asked Zoraida Córdova:

Hi Zoraida! I’ve been working on a draft and have come to understand who my characters are and the world fairly well, but I don’t really know how to go about building out the plot! Not a whole lot happens and my plot feels very “bare bones” to me right now. Do you have any tips for building out plot?

Zoraida Córdova I think the main question you have to ask yourself is "What does my character want?" Every chapter is about getting the characters closer to what they want. The harder it is to achieve that, the more exciting the plot. Hope that helps!

I love the world of brujeria created in these books! Would you ever consider writing/publishing ‘The tales of the deos’ or the ‘The book of cantos’ as companions to the trilogy?
