I'm an aspiring writer, but I'm dealing with two things: I get discouraged every single day because 96% of manuscripts are rejected, and I haven't had an idea for years, literally. There's too many people wanting to be writers, and knowing there's so much competition just kills me a little every day. When I get motivated, immediatly something appears about the industry that kills it. Any tips on how to deal with this?

Well, I decided to self-publish and just do my own thing. It's not for everyone, but it works for me! If you want more info, I recommend David Gaughran's book Let's Get Digital. Best of luck!

I recently reread the Elemental Mysteries and Building from Ashes. I picked up more details regarding Carwyn's story that weave through EM and then appear again in BfA from a different perspective. What a fantastic approach! What was your strategy? Did you do something similar regarding Damian and Sari's story as you were writing the Irin Chronicles? Thanks for taking the time to respond :)

Thank you for writing so many great books! I finished reading "The Staff and the Blade" a while ago, and it was really interesting to get to know about the background of Damien and Sari's relationship. My question is: What made you use Norway as a setting in many parts of "Irin Chronicles"? I recognised so many scenes as I often visit those places. To be honest, I felt a little proud of being Norwegian ;)
