Having seen your series grow from what you thought might be five books, to seven, do you find yourself rearranging events in your original outline so each book has an independent structure with climaxes and growth of its own?
Yes, to some extent, but it’s worse than that. I originally thought of it as one book. Well, by the time I went to the publisher, I realized that, no, one book wouldn’t do it. I really thought it would be two, or three maybe, but I wasn’t sure. But yes, there has been some rearrangement of events—surprisingly little though. I have been startled at how little I have had to shift the major points. Of course, a lot of them are floating, if you will. That’s partly because, in the outline, the high points are not fixed—I never intended them to occur in a specific order. They were things that I knew had to happen for the development of one character or another, but there was always some allowance in my mind for things to shift.
