Experiences as a soldier
I’m not certain that my background in the military has informed my writing at all really. My experiences in Vietnam certainly did, because anything that you live through really has some effect on who you are and how you write. I know what being in a battle is like. I know what it is like to have somebody trying to kill me personally. I know what it’s like to kill somebody. And I know what it’s like to believe that you are going to die in the next two minutes. These things are very useful when you’re writing high fantasy. Your characters know what it is like to experience these things; you can put that into those characters.
