E.Reads asked Abigail Roux:

I'm curious, do you usually write from beginning to end or do you write scenes as they come up to you and then "connect the dots"? I really love your books, read most of them several times now and I'm just curious as to your writing process.

Abigail Roux Thank you for reading!

I try to write from start to finish. That's when I'm most productive, when everything is clicking. On the occasions when I do step out of line and start writing scenes out of order, it's a pretty good indication that I'm struggling and losing focus.

There are exceptions, of course, like if I have an idea for a scene and wake up in the middle of the night so excited about it that I have to et up right then and write it out.

But if I can write a book from opening scene to the end in order I'm happy. I almost always go back and switch things up, find better order for certain scenes, do some smoothing over with edits. If I'm looking at 15 different documents with all these different pieces of scenes that need to be tied together, I'm liable to go bang my head against a wall for an hour because that's not what I'd intended to end up with!
