Reporter:____________________
Christopher Paolini(CP):I love fantasy.I love the sense of awe and wonder that you always get at the end of a great book or movie.Eragon was an attempt to express that.When I was about twelve, I read a book called Jeremy Thatcher,Dragon Hatcher.It’s about a young boy who went into a mysterious shop and bought a dragon egg that ends up hatching.It stuck in my head.Eragon was an attempt to see what I could do with the idea myself.
Reporter:Where else do you get your ideas?
CP:I’m definitely influenced by authors who have a fairly inventive use of language,imaginative worlds and a sense of wonder-authors who write about things that other people don’t.
Reporter:What was the hardest thing about writing Eragon?
CP:Probably the editing because I wasn’t used to it.It was a kind of shock doing it.But also I was having to learn a huge amount about grammar and commas and other things I’d never paid much attention to before.I’d say that editing and writing are pretty much equal in difficulty.My raw writing is a lot more professional now than it ever was before because of everything I learned through the editing process.
Reporter:How do you avoid becoming frustrated with the writing process?
CP:Write about what you enjoy the most or what touches you the most; otherwise you’ll never be able to survive a book-length project.
