Sonja The Squeamer talks to the fabulous and prolific Fantasy Fiction writer Terry Brooks who chats about THAT huge epic fantasy series: Shannara, that he has been writing since 1977 !
So for Terry who inspires him author wise these days? What does he read? What about those Elves of his? What of Y/A fiction?
‘I find it much harder to write short stories than long fiction. I feel cramped by the lack of space and the dictates of the form. There is considerable difference in long and short fiction disciplines, and I am not good with the latter. I hope not to have to do many more of them, but you never know. I must have written Indomitable anywhere from four to five times, each effort different. Give me a five hundred page sprawl as an assignment any day’
