My questions: 1: What is your inspiration?
2. If you weren't a writer what would you be?
3. A favourite author?
4. How is your new sci-fi novel going?
5. Any motivation for young author out in the world?
Hello, Paolini, can you answer some of these questions?You know I'm 11 and I have written three books and now I am starting a magazine from my company too and you know in my magazine we have each week an interview with a celebrity/ famous person. I thought, how about start with a person like you. I really hope you can consider this, thank you so much!
hello its cobie rahn and I just finished reading the series for the 11th time and I will be sending out a letter to you this Friday.
hi its cobie rahn and i have read the Inheritance Cycle 9 times already and i am continuing to read the series again.
