Lena asked Shannon Messenger:

Hi! I really really love your books, and I'm so excited that you're coming to my state for the Lodestar tour thing! Unfortunately, I'm a student, and the day you are coming is in a week day, so I can't go :( However! I just wanted to say I'm super excited that we'll be in the same state briefly! Also, since this is an ask, I was wondering if you are the type to plot your stories or let it go where it wants?

Shannon Messenger Sorry I'll miss you while I'm in town. Alas, alack. And I'm a combination of both. I always have a few key plot things planned, so I have some direction for the story. But I also always leave plenty of room to let the story unfold naturally, because that's where the true magic happens.
