It wasn’t until I finished my third book that I really considered myself a writer, and realized that it was a career that was going to take me where I wanted to go.ħ. Then, when I tried to make a career as an author, I realized I wasn’t actually very much of a writer at all. I considered myself a writer in my teens, when I wrote about a quarter of a million words in high school. When did you first consider yourself a writer? What was that particular incident? He’s just my favorite writer, and probably always will be.Ħ. I’ve read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings more than a dozen times each, and The Silmarillion several times. What books and authors have influenced your writing the most? I’ve never engaged with a Star Wars story that didn’t have Jedi, so this is a nice surprise for me.ĥ. But, it’s a really well-written, gripping story, and so I’m enjoying myself a lot. It’s a story with no Jedi, and they’re my big draw to the Star Wars universe. Right now I’m reading Star Wars: Aftermath, by Chuck Wendig. What book are you reading at the moment? Tell us something about it. And so it’s worth it to just keep going, because I don’t have to be afraid of failure any more.Ĥ. And the one thing that always cheers me up is (weirdly) asking myself “What’s the worst that could happen?” Because if I think about it, the “worst” usually isn’t all that bad. But I will often find myself getting really resentful, or discouraged, or feel like nothing I’m doing is working. And that lesson doesn’t apply to everyone. But the most important thing I’ve learned in my life is to appreciate how good things are for me. Biggest lesson you’ve learned in life so far? What is your philosophy of life? Nothing will ever match hearing her first cry after she was born. The best moment of your life? Apart from your writing career.ĭefinitely the birth of my first child, my daughter Dawn. Until then, I’ll have complete ownership over everything I do.Ģ.

I’m not saying I’ll never work with a publisher or a big film studio, but if I do, it will be on my terms.

I’d rather make enough money to survive, and own everything I do, than make a whole lot of money but have my work be under someone else’s control.
