I had to live this long, have the experiences I've had, to create what I do. I knew I wanted to write for years, but I had to be ready so I wouldn't blow it. The move to Maine was the final step.
From Terry Goodkind
I hate telling that story to people who've been struggling for years.
It allows you to say things that sound very dramatic and get away with it. If you had characters in modern fiction say the same things as they're driving down the street in an Oldsmobile they'd sound ludicrous!
They look at me and I kind of back up in case they go for my throat.
After the book took off, I bought a whole new wardrobe.
I don't think I could have written what I did any earlier.
If God is so powerful, can he create a rock which he cannot lift?
