Interview #617: SciFi Bulgaria Interview, Entry #4

SciFi Bulgaria

Can you relate to a character from your books?

Brandon Sanderson

To some extent, there are many characters from my books who can do things I think would be very cool to be able to do. But most of their personalities aren’t very much like my own. What I like to do all the time is write, and someone who sits in their house writing all day doesn’t make a very interesting character. In that respect, the narrator in the Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians books may be most like me, since he often talks about what it’s like to be a writer. But our experiences don’t match up at all. I see my characters as distinct individuals with their own experiences, hopes, and ways of thinking, all of which are often very different from my own.
