Best Answer

Well, she had an idea when she was on a train but was too shy to ask anyone for a pen or paper so for the whole train journey she sat and thought of ideas.

By the time she had gotten home, she had an idea of what to put in all of the books.

Why is James Patterson ending Maximum Ride?

His series has gone on for 9 books. J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" didn't even last that long. It's hard to keep a story going for that many books. Eventually, you just run out of plots, ideas, and battles. Besides, his whole life isn't about "Maximum Ride". He's moving onto new stories, such as "Witches and Wizards", and "Alex Cross".
