Steel spends two to three years on each book, juggling multiple projects at once. According to Steel, once she has an idea for a story, her first step is to make notes, which are mostly about the characters. She told The New York Times in 2018: "I make notes for a while before I start work on the outline. The notes are usually more about the characters. I need to know the characters really well before I start — who they are, how they think, how they feel, what has happened to them, how they grew up."

Tp bukannya ngelarin buku yg belum dibaca, malah reread si Remembrance ini 🤭. Dulu, belasan thn yg lalu, kayaknya ni buku bagus banget. Tp dibaca ulang skrg, biasa aja. Jelek ngga, bagus banget juga ngga. Khas DS, agak2 soap opera yg dibalut sejarah. Serena, yg digambarkan sebagai keturunan bangsawan yg cantik jelita dan berpenampilan aristokrat, kadang suka cetek banget cara berfikirnya dan lemah. Paling kesel pas bagian dia ngga pergi2 juga dr si Vasili yg gila itu. Kasian dgn Vanessa yg menurutku justru lebih pinter dari emaknya. Untungnya DS memberi ending yg indah buat Teddy, kalo ngga kelewatan banget. Steel, Danielle (February 10, 2009). "Fear of Flying". daniellesteel.net . Retrieved January 23, 2018.
