Below is Five Questions with David Farland. Enjoy!

Suvudu: When did you start writing? Why do you write?

David Farland: I began writing when I was seventeen. I’d loved Lord of the Rings, and so I began to devour any fantasy that I could find. On an off day, I started creating my own story. I told it to a coworker, and he said, “You should take that and put it in a book!” It suddenly struck me, like a revelation, that not only could I do that, but that I might even be able to sell it. So the next day I went out and bought a used typewriter and began to plug away. Forty years later, I’m still writing fantasy—for the love of it!

S: Describe your writing day? How many words/pages do you write a day on average? Breaks? How much time do you spend editing and how do you go about it?
