Erin Morgenstern discusses the inspiration and writing processes behind The Night Circus and The Starless Sea.
Uploaded by Doubleday Publishing, 2019 · Watch on YouTube ·
Morgenstern shares that the novel originated during National Novel Writing Month when she grew bored with her plot; adapting the advice to add ninjas, she sent her characters to a circus that suddenly materialized in her imagination.
Morgenstern decided against writing a sequel to The Night Circus because she felt its ending was satisfying, choosing instead to explore a story about stories, fate, time, and video games.
Morgenstern explains that The Starless Sea was inspired by libraries and book-filled spaces, beginning with the scene of a character finding an unidentified book on a university library shelf.
Morgenstern reveals that both of her novels took approximately five years each to write, largely because she is a rewriter who discovers the narrative through revision.
