I think characters telling the author the story is a bit strange.

Maybe it is just a creative way of saying their brains haven't figured it out yet.

This is why intense outlines are needed.

You can outline and still not have figured out some logistics.

So, it's just a creative and fancy way of saying that.

And a round about way of her saying, she's not written that part of their story yet too!

Right!

Like, she doesn't want to give spoilers either. She wants the fans to read it in the book in the context of the story.

^^ She definitely doesn't because something could be edited out or changed during the editing process.

From what Deb said on one of her recent LIVE on Facebook streams, there can be up to 6 or 7 edits of a book.

You really have to have stamina as an author.

No, but like Katherine Arden said, it's easy to start a story. Finishing is all about you pushing through.

^^ You can loose motivation in parts or get stuck, not unreasonable to think that even thought they love to write, they do get stuck.
