LTUE - The Moral Universe of the Runelords

The Moral Universe of the Runelords
Discussion with David Farland author of "Of Mice and Magic", "The Runelords", "Mummy Chronicles" and much more.

- Readers don't always read what you wrote with the intent that you meant.

- In fantasy there tends to always be black and white, but you should re-evaluate what you have written to identify any ambiguity which you might be able to play around with.

- When writing you have to realize that, even though it may be hard to write, sometimes good people are forced to make ugly decisions. Be willing to make your good characters make decisions that aren't perfect (i.e. a person having to take someone else's powers in order to eventually overpower the ultimate evil even though they don't want to take people's powers in the first place.)



Author David Farland has an email that he sents out five times a week to other writers called David Farland's Kick In The Pants. It is full of great insight into the publishing industry, as well as tips for how to become a better writer. If you would like to receive these emails please email David at davidfarland@xmission.com and say "Kick me!" I highly recommend it.
