Less talk-y, more write-y! See, however nifty it was to see the face and hear the voice who created “The Four Corners” AND “Qvothe”, all I could think as you were talking was, “he should be writing right now so I don’t have a meltdown and loose my mind waiting for more stories!?”. Sad, I know but I just got back from a very long trip to the Atlantic Ocean and Qvothes voice kept me company through the two days of constant driving. I’m now, addicted and completely at your mercy so stop talking, start writing! ;)

Thanx Pat! The video is being shared as we speak... or write... like, now...It's good to know that you have a world. That may sound silly, but it is really like you say. Your scenes are not made of cardboard. You know, while you read, that there is more. I believe that that is one of the things that made Tolkien great.If you have the time. Can you answer this question?With what did you start, story or world?It's kind of something I'm figuring out at this moment. My story seems to stall because my/our world is not yet fully completed... I would just like to know what the master did.Cheers!

of course not. lolbut um, . . . as a photographer, I could give you the advice that images (or video) taken from an above angle is universally more flattering…. That is unless you’re one of those twiggy sticks like Nichole Richie, in which case an angle from below is more flattering….

I just let out a squeal of anticipation with the thought of you writing urban fantasy.

I would definitely enjoy your version of the urban fantasy. Somehow i imagine it as a head on collision between A Separate Peace, Animal House, and the good fairies of new york.

Shakespeare's use of the word SALT!? How annoying and frustrating.I think Shakespeare would be on your side there. It is amusing to imagine Shakespeare listening to the Prof. assign you that topic.I have noticed that most post- graduate programs share that rigidity which is odd because I had always imagined the opposite would be the case. Foolish mortal!A friend of mine once asked a Prof. point blank why he had to take a certain unnecessary class. The reply was a tart "Because you want to be a doctor." I can't wait to see the third installment. I did feel a bit defensive on behalf of Dante though. ;)

Na. You don’t look fat dude. A wise man always carries an extra bit of timber in case he needs the chubby warmth in a survival situation. Just got my copy of Subterranean tales of Dark Fantasy in. So looking forward to reading it. Bring on the lunch break!

Ah. Gosh. Good things and books to come. Good to know.The more I read The Name of the Wind, the more gob smacked I am at the sheer amount of world contained therein. It's got a layer of awesome and then a layer of complexity and then a layer of awesome again. (Like pie.) As a writer, I really have to respect that.And as a writer, I definitely wouldn't happen to be counting down the days to next April with an expectant, if frustrated, expression. Nope.

Thanks for posting part two of the interview. I tried to join the website but my info was never accepted, so I missed both of the other parts.I hope you will be kind enough to post part three in a few days.I am probably your oldest fan and have been so since your book first came out last April. I am so impressed with your work and the time and intensity you are putting into the second and third books.It makes me proud to be a fan!Ancient Reader
