Glen Marty asked Cornelia Funke:

Do you ever plan a story out before you start writing it or do you let the story show you how it's going to play out?

Cornelia Funke it's a mix. I do a lot of research to prepare the canvas and I sketch several chapters. And then....the story does something completely different.

A Goodreads user asked Cornelia Funke:

Hi, Cornelia! I absolutely love Inkheart, and I was wondering: Are there any songs you remember listening to while writing Inkheart, or songs that make you think of the story? I love listening to music that inspired a book while reading it!

A Goodreads user asked Cornelia Funke:

How do you come up with all the fantastic names in your stories? Names like Dustfinger and Silvertongue and Capricorn. Naming characters is one of the things I struggle with most in my own writing, so I'd love any tips you might have.
