As I write, invariably I encounter more questions and answer those as I go.
David B. Coe
Image
Guy Kay is probably my favorite and the writer I most want to emulate.
David B. Coe
Image
I write every day for most of the work day, and I try to write 2,500 words per day... If I don't make it a routine and treat it like a job, I'd never get anything done.
David B. Coe
Image
I listen to instrumental jazz and bluegrass, but aside from my AM workout, I have no rituals.
David B. Coe
Image
I love magic and playing with magic systems. But to me, good fantasy like all fiction comes down to good character and plotting.
David B. Coe
Image
With a historical setting, I worry about accuracy at every turn... With a created world, I have to worry about all of it holding together and seeming coherent... Each presents unique challenges and opportunities.
David B. Coe
Image
The closer you can get to your setting and to primary sources, the more authentic your history is going to be.
David B. Coe

Before writing, I start with a series of questions, specific things I need to know before I can write the book... That list grows and changes as I do more and more research. But when I've answered the bulk of the questions, I begin to write.
David B. Coe
