b"liekinloimu Asks:\\xa0You have said many times that you are plotter. Do you mind telling us something about the process of how the plots take form in you mind? Like: do you get a major idea, like the high point of the story, and then start adding other bits of story around it? Or do you get one small idea, which then starts to expand to something bigger? Do you ever get so many ideas for one story that they just can't all fit in there? And if so, how do you decide which ones to keep so that the plot does not expand to million different directions?---To answer this question, I'm going to plot live on the air. The only prep I've done for the show is ask myself a single question:What if James Potter left Britain with his family and told no one where they went?"
