Popular Answered Questions

When writing a story, do you already have the end of it in mind?

Kate Wrath Yes, but I don't have all the details. For instance, I've known since I began writing Book One of The E Series how the series would end. I knew some o鈥辞谤别Yes, but I don't have all the details. For instance, I've known since I began writing Book One of The E Series how the series would end. I knew some of the things that would happen along the way, but not all of them. For example, there's an event in Elegy that completely blindsided me and made me scramble to pick up the pieces around it. That one event changed some of the things that I had seen happening at the end of the series, but it didn't change the overall outcome.

I think it's important to know where you're headed, or you might never get there, and the story might suffer. But, personally, I like to have a good deal of freedom with my writing, so that I can discover things along with the characters. Their choices guide the story, just like in real life. If things are too structured, you run the risk of having a "canned" plot (something I personally cannot stand in a story). Anyway, there's a balance in there, somewhere in the middle, and that's how I tend to write. I'm not saying that's how everyone should write, because all writers are different. But for me, it works quite well.(less)

I just finished reading the E Series box set 1-3. (I absolutely loved it.) My question is, what/who was your influence for writing in the first person? (It was very bold. Wasn't sure how I'd like it at first, but loved it. Especially how it allowed you to put twists and turns in the plot.)

Kate Wrath That's such a great question, Leo! I would like to know the answer, myself!

The thing about E is that I never planned to write it at all, so it's hard to know where it all came from. The story is... I was working on the third book in another series (that I haven't gotten around to publishing yet). I was buried in a lot of research, trying to sort some things out in my head. Needless to say, that's not the funnest part of writing! I really needed a break from it, and I desperately wanted to write something. I couldn't really move forward with the book I was writing because the research wasn't finished, so I decided to take a little break and just write something for fun. So I grabbed a notebook and pen and started free-writing (where you write as quickly as you can, without stopping, without knowing what you're going to write). I didn't have the slightest idea what would come out, let alone what point of view it would be in! And voila. Eden was born. So no, I don't have any idea where the inspiration for first person came from!

Another funny thing is that, up until I wrote The E Series, I hardly ever wrote in first person. I've always greatly preferred third person. Really, I never even liked first person! But I suppose each story has its own voice, and maybe that's just the thing. Eden had her own story, and she wanted to tell it. I have to say, it has been incredibly fun writing from her perspective. There's an immediacy to first person that I've definitely come to appreciate. And yes, it has worked well with some of the plot twists. :)

So glad to hear you've enjoyed the series so far! I'm a little more than halfway through writing the last book as we speak, and after this, it's on to a spinoff series set a few years after the end of The E Series. I'll be writing the next series in third person, which will be fun because it will open up a lot more possibilities with different characters.(less)

“Already I feel the loss of this moment, like it's drifting away from me on Time's wings. I sense the future, how far away this moment will be, how I'll look back and feel it as something distant and ethereal. All of life's moments are like that-snapshots filed away in a box. If we're lucky enough to grow old, we can look back at them, but we'll never be in them again. Never live them. We're only ever out of the picture,looking back. Struggling to recall the details..”
