Hendrik asked Pierce Brown:

Hello, Pierce! I just finished your Red Rising Trilogy. Best series I ve read in at least 5 years, thank you so much for that. I am wondering, wether you experienced any serious writers blocks during the process of creating those three? If yes, how did you overcome it?

Pierce Brown Very much so for Morning Star. The only way to overcome it is to write through it, knowing what you're writing will be bad but you'll fix it later. Morning Star felt like such a slog because I could take the story into so many places, but the key isn't in thinking where can I take the story, it's thinking: how do I make each scene mean something.

Patricia asked Pierce Brown:

One of the things I loved about the Red Rising trilogy is the many references to other great works of literature. For someone who likes to read but not necessarily "classics" or "literature" where do you suggest I start?

Apart fron the Red rising series, do you have any other projects in mind involving a whole new world and characters? And are you sticking with sci fi or do think you could go either standard fiction or fantasy even?
