Interview with the author.

What is the main message you'd like your readers to take away from this book?

You must write to the end. You must finish your book.

To do this, remember:

The story is the journey.

You set out prepared with a map, supplies, a sturdy rucksack, and an idea of what might it will be like.

But somewhere along the way, you encounter obstacles.

A landslide, an unexpected river, a bear...

You may stumble, you may fall down a crevasse. Your hand may become trapped under a heavy rock. You are trapped.

You cry out in anguish. "What can I do to make this work?"

This is how it is for all of us. Writers are weird. We love story, but making our own stories is an art.

And art, like love, is painful at times.

Which means our work is always an internal as well as an external experience.

We must step into the mind of a murderer, a warrior, a mother, a child.

We must encounter dragons, office politics, Queens, and Dukes.

We must fall in love, search for treasure, leave home, assassinate the enemy, seek revenge, suffer grief, betrayal, and injustice.

We must lose everything. We must survive that loss. Over and over again.

Whether you write genre fiction or literary works of tender existential angst, you are a storyteller. And telling stories can lead to madness. Didn't your mother warn you of this?

But nothing stops you.

You know you are a writer if you refuse to give up.

You know you can overcome every plot hole, strengthen every character arc, bring every setting alive for your reader.

All you need is practise. And a deep understanding of the craft.

You are an intrepid artist of your own inner landscape.

You will change with e
