Interview #748: Interview with Isaac Stewart, the man behind the maps of Mistborn and The Way of Kings, Entry #14

Trevor Green

What’s been the most difficult thing about being associated with such largely successful novels?

Isaac Stewart

Finding the time to fit everything in. These days I have to be very selective about what I take on since I’ve committed a lot of my future time to working with existing clients. I rarely take on new clients because there isn’t enough time in the day to work a full-time job, be a husband, be a dad, serve in my church, do existing freelance projects, and work on my own projects. Sometimes I find time to breathe and blink.

(At this point I’d like to once again thank Isaac for taking the time to do this interview. Makes a fellow feel loved you know?)

What’s the best about it?

Isaac Stewart

The best thing about seeing your friends succeed in writing books is also recognizing the pattern of success and realizing that becoming a full-time writer can actually happen. When I find myself in the occasional moment of frustration, I count how many people I know who have “made it.” If I don’t give up, I tell myself, I’ll make it too. This makes the chains of all-nighters more bearable.
