You’re a hip person danial Greene

You're a great listener, that's important and rare

You got two amazing authors to just gush about each other's work! This is amazing!

Its also a sign of a great interview if the interviewer only has to plop a few guiding questions and we got to see the magic happen. Truly an amazing video to watch and great insight for all of us on the creative process, different approaches and the art of crafting story, characters, and worlds. Very happy for you Daniel getting these opportunities to bring the community of writers, readers, enthusiasts, youtubers, and general public together like this! Definetly glad to have clicked on one of your videos way back while on the pooper at work, been having great poop breaks ever since! 😆

Does Pips still do drugs?

Wow, I gotta read these books

can confirm they are.

The Infinity Authors: Brandon Sanderson Patrick Rothfuss Rebecca Kuang Joe Abercrombie Evan Winter Nicholas Eames

@@thomasalexanian927 NK Jemisin!

@@Mikeztarp yes her too

@@Mikeztarp all these authors should play DND together I would love to see that

@@thomasalexanian927 definitely

Yeah she is only 24 wow

@@briani8785 that's the depressing part, though. Success where you at?

@@JohnnyValmaggia haha yeah exactly. I’m interested in being a writer but I still don’t have the commitment to even do the research and my job that I don’t like still runs my life lol.

@@briani8785 I'm technically at work right now - Call Centre, a dream job. BUT, here's what helped me: first, listen to Writing Excuses. Second, follow a single rule: write every day. Even if it is one sentence, one word, or one thousand. Just write every day.

I read the poppy war. It's fantastic. I hated the main character but I felt like that almost by design, because her character is so compelling. I guess you would call her a grey character? I really like the setting too :)

Winter's Heart. I see what you did there

Meta

I am far less interested in this than what we've gotten

Martin and King would really be the coolest thing ever and maybe Pat as well.

@@culturestudios3500 Let's not stop there, how about Brando Sando coming in too? The interview will be epic. 2 highly prolific writers and 2 writers who haven't written in years. It'll be perfect.

Is GRRM still a writer?

@@bluerectangle5794 Lol and maybe Martin and Rothfuss could influence Sanderson to better his prose. Maybe even get him to use "Fuck" and "cunt" from time to time. 😂 You'll see, if Sanderson had to write like GRRM or Pat he'd also have a book out every 10 years. But again I really would like to see King, Rothfuss and Martin talk with Sanderson. Wouldn't that be a vibe??? Cause I swear to God I've never heard any major writer mention Brandon's name anywhere, which is why I only heard of him this year.

Seems that way

I find it very encouraging and inspiring

Same 😭 i bet she did it on purpose

Yeah I’ll never take that seriously anymore haha

I was immune to these memes until I read this and got curious...Thanks Pedro lol

She said in the previous interview she speaks in memes so...

Ye we really do live in a society where joker mem... DAMN IT !!

And fencing!!!

@Looking Glass she's going into academia!

tolkien did the exact same thing: his main profession was linguistics, and he translated Beowulf from the original, but nowadays he's known mostly for his books.

Also the mutual respect and mutual fanning over each other's book between Rebecca and Even is just so nice to see

😂

U think so you learn by reading.

Ikr that hit hard lol

It's a weird, demoralizing feeling knowing that a bestselling author is younger than you. In the case of Kuang, young by exactly one year.

@@joshuakusuma5953 And yet, that means that your bestselling novel/film/show/animation/channel/art piece/photography work/clothing line is just going to come later in life You'll still do it. Just don't give up; it might not be as big or successful as Rebecca's, but making something, anything, is better than giving up and letting that demoralising feeling eat away at you. I can't wait to see what you do to be honest.

@@michaelandrews117 Thanks, man. That made my day.

I can totally see where you're coming from. Though, if you change you're thinking just a little bit, it can be a little inspiring. Hearing about Rebecca's and Evan's process and their life helps you realize that writing a novel is really, really difficult. . . But also totally possible. Even by a college student with tons of studies. In short, you got this!

She got her first bestselling fantasy book published before she was even out of college

@@isaacbruner65 Plus, she has a bachelor, 2 Masters and is now enrolled in a PhD program.

Yuuup

Hate that argument too, it's not like Rand is basically TORTURED for 12 out of 14 books before he gains enough strength to be able to fight an all-powerful being.

​@@Piqipeg Mental Breakdowns, Constant Bickering, Accidentally murdering your troops, having to convince the political world that you are not a threat but should be taken seriously, watching your mentor, friends, and soldiers die in front of you, and oh everyone's favorite book club!...The "Aes Sedai". Those are just minor inconveniences I guess

I agree that rand is an exelent character. I just couldnt start to like him. In fact its the same for the wheel of time as whole for me. I could love every component of it. The world, cultures and organisations in it ? Very good. Characters ? Very good. Plot ? Quite good. Power system ? Good. And yet, i dont remember the wheel of time as dear to me. The characters i dont love, i appreciate. Its a bit weird given that i loved stormlight archive, or lightbringer. In the end its a bit weird for me to say that because i dont mind lots of talking and a slower pace, but a lot of WoT felt... boring, and slow. Too extensive descriptions. Many meh dialogues tho they could be great. Lots of repetition. Almost a villain of the week format for the final boss of each book. But the worst of the worst is that i did not get attached to the characters. There was only one book where i felt i was reading something that would have emotional value for me. Book 4. I loved this one. I enjoyed others, but not quite like it. To this day, despite the defaults i listed, i still do not understand how the wheel of time could mean so little to me given that it has everything i like in it.

What experiences have you had with the police that were unreasonable?

@@TomFranklinX Nothing too bad. But I felt what he said about even when I act calm there's always this danger that looms over you. That jist because your calm doesnt mean the world(or in this case police) will react that way towards you

He has one, afictionalconversation

@@reidblanchard6453 he has? Well i don't know that. Thanks btw

It would've been better if content like this goes into podcast tho....

He does the podcast with a friend of his. It's called A Fictional Conversation.

Its teddy fresh

I just watched...no major spoilers. They mostly talked themes, character development, inspiration and their process. At most you'll hear in a vague sense about a battle or two but nothing that spoils the events.

Zero plot spoilers.

@@tonypoole1430 Thank you! I've been spoiled for several books by some of Daniel's other interviews so I was trying to play it safe.

@@charlie.tt4 I hear you! I've held off on some videos for that reason too.

I got a Question. What are some really good examples of a High Fantasy book series that has these qualities?: -A fantasy world that is its own mythology -Epic fight scenes and wars -Intense magic battles -A hugely expanded magic system -The archetypical hero’s journey -Dragons, Unicorns, Griffins, Sea Monsters, Phoenixes, and other known mythical beasts -Stunningly beautiful and smart female characters and love interests -Romantic story arcs that involve love and sex -Conflicts involving politics -Themes and elements and faith and religion -Spiritual and psychological themes -Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, Ghouls, Vampires, Merfolk, Fairies, Centaurs, and other non-human races -Different languages that are spoken by non-human languages -A feared and all-powerful dark lord who is after the main hero -the archetypal wise wizard -a community of wizards and sorceresses -Dark themes of tragedy, corruption, betrayal, and genocide -A tone that turns into being dark and gritty while always being mature from the start -Characters that are realistic and relatable in personality -Light and positive themes of faith, love, friendship, loyalty, honor, sacrifice and optimism

Oh, yeah. Evan is fiiiine.

@@wabisabi7755 It makes me wonder who his favorite artist is. I mean, writing a book is stressful, you need to rest and do something different once in a while, like working out while listening to Hip-Hop.
