Tonight, we spoke with Peter Orullian, author of The Unremembered, the first in a new Epic Fantasy series called The Vault of Heaven. Peter spoke at length about how daring to fail (spectacularly) as a writer and still keep the joy of writing and how to imbue your novel (and yourself) with hope.
Some of tonight's topics were:
If you're serious about writing professionally, write the best you can and "swing for the fences" with every effort.
Don't write to the market, write your story and what you're passionate about, your market (and your audience) will often find you.
"If a writer can be discouraged, help him build his ego."
Whether you're at the beginning of your writer's journey, or reflecting on the sunset phase of a long, illustrious career, everyone needs to be emboldened at one time or another. Take heart! Push "Play," bend an ear, and be encouraged!
