A Goodreads user asked Terry Maggert:

Do you plan to write books or do you let the book in a sense write it self?

Terry Maggert They just happen. I've met some writers who can schedule books, but my problem is this: I'll never have enough time to write all of the novels in my head. Actually-- is that really a problem?
I'm writing four novels right now, and I do, at the start, see the entire story arc. Some of the twists and turns are from how the characters react to each other. In that sense, some of the novels are wholly organic.
