Hi, I'm Ceci Vale.

I've always loved long stories. I love having time to get attached to the characters, to watch relationships grow, mysteries unfold, and a world become more familiar with every chapter.

What I don't love is not knowing how far a story is going to go-or whether it's going anywhere at all.

That became one of the reasons I started writing I Thought I Knew the Plot.

I wanted to write the kind of story I enjoy reading: one that has room to grow, but also knows where it's going. A story where every chapter has a reason to exist-whether it moves the plot forward, reveals something important, develops a relationship, or changes the way we understand a character or the world.

I don't want to add chapters just to make the story longer. If a scene doesn't give the reader something that matters, it probably doesn't need to be there.

I already know the ending and the major turns along the way. But there are still conversations, little moments, and pieces of these characters that I get to discover while writing them. That's one of the things I love most about the process.

So yes, I know where this story is going.

I'm just discovering the road that takes us there.

Thank you for reading, for giving these characters a chance, and for being here at the beginning.

I hope you'll stay with me for the journey. ❤️
