Loved your book! Can you tell me what part of your writing process you enjoy the most and what part the least?
Nicholas Eames
Hi Ned! I'm so glad you loved the book! And thank you for the question.
The best part about the writing process is getting into a groove with dialogue, when the characters sort of 'take over' and you just glide along with them. Also, nailing a particularly troubling paragraph after HOURS of agonizing over every word of it is great as well.
The worst? Well, to be honest: deadlines. I hate them. I know they're a necessary part of the business, but I've discovered that they stress me out real bad and I tend to write slower as they approach as opposed to faster. Hopefully, as I develop as a writer, I'll find habits and processes that help me be more productive when I do write, so I need not stress out when deadlines approach!
Thanks again for the question!

Hi Nicholas, Hope you're well- I'm midway through Bloody Rose and loving it. The mentions of Saga has made me want to read KotW again. Speaking of which, if these books were ever to be made into a film (I hope one day they are), who would be your pick to play your leading 5 guys from the first book?

Hello! This will sound like a silly question - but how old are your main protagonists? There's an r/fantasy challenge going on that's a Bingo of sorts. One of the squares is "Getting Too Old for this Crap" Where the main character or one of them has to be over 50, anyone from your book qualify?
