Q: (Warrior Rin, an A, Rain Dove,)
1.How did it start? Were you chosen to write Runescape Novels? or did you start writing it without being asked to, And Jagex took a liking to your story?
A: I started playing RS in 2006 and thought it would be a great addition to the game to have a novel based on its world. So from January 01st 2007 I sat down and wrote 1000 words per day. By Summer I had the draft version which was sent into Jagex. A few meetings later, and Betrayal at Falador was born.
2. I write a lot. I like writing, if i just have a chance. I would like to ask for a few writing advices, to make my little stories better. Could you share a few good advices, ideas, or tell me what are the most important stuff to do during a book writing?
A: There is an awful lot to be said here, and I think I will have to add a page on my site to fully provide advice that would help. However, the very brief version is:
Put aside time, each day if you can, to write. This keeps you focused on the task at hand and keeps momentum going.
Read, and read a variety of books across genres.
And the hardest thing of all - don't be afraid to go back and redo your previous work. For years I hesitated at even the thought of redrafting work, fearing that it couldn't benefit. That was as wrong as I could be. It is tough, but it is really, really necessary. No one has ever written a single draft novel and had it published without a change. And no one ever will either.
