What parts of the series were difficult for you to write both emotionally and mentally? Have you ever turned something in for press and later realized you hated how it read?
None of it has been hard mentally, though getting inside the skins of the Forsaken and folks like Padan Fain required some effort. You have to really like your character unless that character is meant to be self-hating for some reason, which most people are not. Liking Padan Fain just isn’t easy.
I’ve often read things later and thought I could have done better, but I always think I could do better if only I had another few months to do rewrites. Just a few more months, that’s all. Deadline? Pub date? Never heard of them, sport. I’ve never looked at anything I wrote and hated it. Even the first things I wrote aren’t too bad, really. I certainly know that I could do them better, now—I’d hope so, after all these years—but they aren’t bad.
