Hi Cornelia! I am a huge fan of your books and I am also an aspiring author. I was hoping you might have some advice for me about sticking to writing. How many words would you recommend trying to write in a day? I also have so many ideas, but I jump around and never finish. I have finally chosen one to see through first, but now I am having trouble finishing my plot and just writing in general. Any advice?
Cornelia Funke
Shallan, you name all the things that stand between you and your story: impatience, distractions...:) we all know those. But stories only reveal themselves, when you feed them with your time, your patience, your knowledge about yourself and the world. They like to be made the center of your life, once you set out to write them and they hide and vanish, when you don't devote yourself to their discovery.

Hi Cornelia, ich bin mit deinen Büchern aufgewachsen, war bei der Uraufführung von "Drachenreiter", wegen Herr der Diebe will ich unbedingt nach Venedig (irgendwann schaffe ich das!).Und: dank Tintenherz habe ich jetzt mein zweites Lehrjahr als Buchbinderin begonnen. Ich habe vor Tintenherz so zu binden, wie in den Büchern beschrieben, würdest du es mir signieren?(Und auch eins wollen?) Danke für alles! Eva Kodera
