Phil Price asked Lanie Jacobs:

How do you structure your books? Do you always have a beginning and end in your head before you write and then fill in the rest. Or do you have an idea for a story and just keep adding to it until you see the full picture?

Lanie Jacobs My name and structure doesn't fit in the same sentence and when I hear the word organize I just laugh and laugh. My first book was different than the one I am working on now. For Amaranthine, I saw the ending in my head, and knew how I wanted the prologue, and then had to work on the rest and began brainstorming until I came up the plots and storyline I wanted. The one I am working on now, sort of came the same way, I know the ending, I know the major scenes, I just had to work on the storyline to get all together to make sense. And now that I have gone back and re-read your question, I see the last part ~which I didnt pay attention to because I wanted to answer them one by one~ I pretty much get the idea by seeing a scene and then just work on the rest to make it make sense and see the story in my head....have a good day lol
