Christopher Paolini:
May I ask you for some author advice? I am in the middle of writing my own fantasy book, but there is a bump in the road. There are some characters that I plan to introduce as companions for the main characters, but I cannot decide how best to introduce them. What would you recommend regarding this?
Christopher Paolini
It depends. Are they a group who travels together? Or do they each join the hero separately? Whatever you do, make the initial meetings interesting and entertaining, and try not to drown the reader in tons of exposition. We don’t need to know everything about these new characters’ backstories. Not right away. It’s good to keep a few secrets. And good luck with the writing!

I would love to see it properly done (the movie) or even if they can't do another movie it would be awesome if they do like a tv serie or something! And Would you let us know if they're going to remake it (because I would like to do an audition). 😊? Thank you for being such a good author, I just finished the inheritance cycle and... I can't believe it!! I loved all of it!! It is my favorite book!

Hi Christopher, I love the Inheritance Cycle so much that I have been inspired to try writing as well. I was wondering if you have an estimated release date for your sci-fi book. Could you tell us about your progress at all? (No spoilers just an update) Thanks!
