"I followed, not caring about ghost or faerie, because when a true fear takes hold of you it drives out the others, the ones people try to give you, try to put into the heart of you with stories and dark looks. A true fear grows in the bones of you." The many facets of fear. Is this an insight that you gained as a result of your writing practice, or is this something that you alliterated from self reflection?
Mark Lawrence
Writing practice helps you express things you know in a form that resonates with others. Self-reflection covers pretty much every expression you ever make, since anything a writer puts on the page has to reach it through the filter that is themself.

Hi! I hope you're well. I feel the need to ask this question for the sake of my tenuous grip on sanity; you've said before that the Broken Empire could host a few more tales yet, and aside from Jalan, Jorg and his road brother’s tales, do you think you'll spin some more gold? I could gush about how much I love your writing and how much I've so far enjoyed following it, but I hope that's implied with the question!

You're tired, it's late & your head is thumping. You've been up for hours & need some well earned sleep. There's a knock at the door. Strange, since you're not expecting anyone at such a time. When you get to & open the door you take a step back, heart racing. A hallucination? Jorg smiles back at you, as real as the floor beneath you. Do you invite him in, this creation of yours?
