Interview #663: Melbourne Writers’ Festival - Ali Kayn, Entry #4

Question

Has your interaction with fans, for example, at conventions, affected your work?

Robert Jordan

A good bit of fan mail comes in. I don’t have people showing up at my home. If they did it would stop me writing.

QUESTION

Is there any particular incident (a letter, a meeting, a comment) that stands out?

ROBERT JORDAN

No. I’ve told them I am not going to write something because they want to see it, or not write something because they don’t. It’s going to be what I want to write.

I had a young woman call me a god. There was an 88 year old woman who wrote me a letter and asked me to “write fast”.
