Interview #643: Elf Fantasy Fair Interview with Robert Jordan - Kurafire, Entry #3

Kurafire

You’ve learned to read at a very young age, and the books you read weren’t children’s books either. Do you think that this is what caused you to become an author in the long run?

Robert Jordan

Uhm, I don’t think it caused me to become an author. I must say I prefer writer. I write, I don’t ‘author’. I think that they’re synchronous things. Or perhaps, both indicative of the same thing about me. I didn’t become a writer because I read early, any more than I read early because I was going to become a writer. I am the kind of person who would become a writer […] and that kind of person is, I think, perhaps someone who reads early, who gathers inspiration for books.
