Brandon Sanderson / Writing a book
« on: July 02, 2008, 06:56:33 PM »
Hey Brandon,
Okay, here's the thing... I want to write a fantasy novel. I know what the plot of my story is, and I know the characters, even if I've not named them yet. I've been planning it for years, but my career in IT has had all my time. I've written a book on programming (Professional haXe and Neko - available on Amazon), but it hasn't sated my book writing needs, so I think it's time to start on my fantasy book and see if I can get it published.
My question to you is, when you knew what story you were going to write for your first book, what sort of preparatory did you do, and how long did it take? What research did you do?
Thanks,
Lee
