You can take courses, get a PhD and read a thousand books, but the only way you’re going to improve is to write. Keeping writing stuff! From my own experience and that of the authors I’ve talked to, I’ve found that writers learn by doing. What advice would you give beginning writers? The opening chapter is a brilliant example of how to write an action scene, it’s gritty, heart wrenching and just plain awesome. Another book I also recommend to people, and is great inspiration for me, is Path of the Fury by David Weber. Tamora Pierce is a huge favorite of mine and has been since I was a kid, I’m also a fan of Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive series, which does a phenomenal job of bringing to life a complex fantasy world. Do you have a favorite author, or writing inspiration? It took a few more years, several false starts and a change in career but eventually I decided to give the writing thing a serious go, and now here I am. Up until then, I’d never thought of writing as anything more than a hobby. As a (mostly) only child with a vivid imagination, I’d entertain myself making up stories that I played out with teddy bears and Barbies.anything Later, in high school, I discovered text-based roleplaying, which is effectively collaborative storytelling and discovered that I loved writing.īut still, it wasn’t until my aunt told me she thought I should write a book, because I’d read so many of them, that the idea took hold.
When did you realize you wanted to be a writer? It’s also for kids who like computers, horses and the idea of running around a futuristic city in secret. Me, aged 13! Seriously though, I wrote the series for younger teenage readers who like movies such as Star Wars that are full of action and adventure. To top it all off, there’s something wrong with Hero’s brain, like blackouts and nosebleeds wrong.
Riven takes place a year after the first book.Īfter foiling a centuries-old conspiracy in book 1, Hero has just about everything she wants, except her best friend is keeping secrets and Fink, her 600kg, genetically engineered companion is constantly angry. If that’s not enough to tickle your tastebuds, The Hero Rebellion is a sci-fi series for young adults that follows the story of a young telepath called Hero as she tries to get a life. That last one is my favorite part of the book. Riven is the second book in The Hero Rebellion trilogy and it features explosions, disasters, aliens, chases and weaponized chocolate.
