Hey Jeff,

Thanks for replying. I don't plan very much in the sense I don't plot out each chapter. Nor do I really do intensive character sketches. Most important, for me anyway, is to get an idea or hook I like, then basically go with it from there. I try to have an understanding of what's going to happen in the novel, but it never usually turns out exactly that way, which is why I keep away from making too detailed outlines.

For Suicide Forest, for example, I knew I wanted some English teachers to get lost in Suicide Forest. At that time, I wasn't sure if the enemy was going to be real or supernatural or what. All that kind of just evolved based on how the story was progressing.

So, as you said, I guess I let the characters take the reins!(less)

Jeremy Bates, The Taste of Fear

“understanding. As they progressed west across the crater floor, they saw more gazelles and zebras and buffalo than she could count. She glassed the grasslands through the binoculars for a bottleneck of Land Rovers, hoping it would indicate a predator sighting. The strategy paid off. The first gathering led them to a chilled-out leopard lounging in the crotch of an acacia tree, the second to a pack of spotted hyenas making whooping-giggling noises while tearing apart the ribcage of an antelope with their bone-crushing jaws.”
Jeremy Bates, The Taste of Fear
