Sage Nestler:
Although you are a young author (compared to me, most are), you are experienced. How has your approach to writing evolved? What facet of your writing has changed the most?
Sage Nestler
This is a great question. I am such an old soul, so I never feel my age and forget how young people do see me as! My writing has evolved tremendously within the last three years the most. I have been writing all of my life, but when I started working with publishers and other professionals at age seventeen, my art really took off. For the most part, I have evolved by developing better description methods that are not too lengthy and unnecessary. I have also mastered the art of similes and metaphors, which are my favorite writing tools to use in a novel. I think that this aspect about my writing has changed the most, because my early writing did sound juvenile in terms of the similes and metaphors, but I have learned to make them sound sharper and more artistic. I am always evolving, and as I am going over my first two novels and releasing the special editions, I am using my new description methods to make the novels sound sharper. I am my own worst critic, and I think that this helps me evolve. When I think about my writing, I understand that it will never be completed. There is room for change all of the time.
