James Dashner joins us for a Q&A at Utah Valley University during Life, The Universe, and Everything.

\nThe first question starts out amazingly rough, but the 12-year-old asking it manages to stick the landing. The questions include:

\n\t* Why is the ARC of James' first book so different from the later books?
\n\t* How do you handle paragraph- and sentence-level edits?
\n\t* How do you plot your stories?
\n\t* How do you craft endings that are both satisfying, and leave the reader wanting more?
\n\t* What do you do when your compelling villain threatens to take over the whole book?
