Thanks, terpkristin, that made me chuckle.
I think my favorite part about this article is the way writer twitter kept promoting it by saying that he was their #authorgoals
io9: How involved were you in the production process?Sapkowski: Not very much, on my own request. I do not like working too hard or too long. By the way, I do not like working at all. “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone at me.” John 8:7.
io9: What was your reaction to learning your books were getting 500,000 reprints after the release of the Netflix show?
Sapkowski: How do you expect I answer this question? That I despaired? Shed tears? Considered suicide? No sir. My feelings were rather obvious and not excessively complex.
I think Tom should read this interview on the podcast in a Polish accent.
Hmm, he's not a visual person. I've noticed his prose doesn't drone on and on like the book version of a movie:
io9: What surprised you the most about the production process?
Sapkowski: A lot of things. Even though I am not so easily surprised. Believe or not, when I write I don’t see any pictures. It is not a visual process with me. I see letters only and I work with letters. So, when I see some visualization of my work—be it comics, games or movies—sometimes I am really surprised. Mostly pleasantly.
