Patrick’s Comments (group member since Aug 30, 2011)

Patrick’s comments from the Special chat with Charles Todd, Alan Bradley, and Tasha Alexander group.

Since all of our authors are known for their ongoing series, I'm particularly interested in how they construct those. Do they know from page 1 of book 1 that there will be subsequent books? Do they think of the structure of the entire series when they sit down to write? Any questions you have about their various series can go in this thread.

In every group we host on the site, someone always asks about the authors' writing process. This is the thread to ask questions about how and when the authors write, as well as how much research they do and how they come up with their characters and ideas. Ask away!

If you have a question for the authors -- such as what their writing process is like or how they come up with their ideas -- this is the thread to ask it. They will be answering questions on September 8.
