Katie asked Christopher Paolini:

Hello Christopher! First, I want to thank you for answering my recent fan mail- it made my day, my week, my year! Second, I would like to know if you knew how The Inheritance Cycle was going to end before you started writing it or if you made the story up as you went?

Christopher Paolini I took an entire month and plotted out the Inheritance Cycle. Then while writing the series, although I still followed my original outline, I was able to add more and more detail by daydreaming about the world of Alagaësia and its inhabitants. So a little of both!
