All About Dante

                                        

                                              
● Cassie, Magic: Hi Dante! Welcome to our @magic interviews! To start off, would you mind telling us a little bit about yourself on/off 카지노후기?
                              
◎ Dante, Featured Author: In real life, I work mostly from 9 to 5 at a bank as an IT Engineer. But like any good IT nerd, I partly live on a diet of fantasy and science fiction. I first started writing my series A New Dawn back in 2007, when I was still at university, but didn't start publishing the chapters on 카지노후기 in the autumn 2016.
                              
● Cassie, Magic: Wow! That's a long time! So, what has inspired you to write your series?
                              
◎ Dante, Featured Author: I wanted to write a fantasy 온라인카지노게임 from the point of view of four children and take the reader along a journey in which they learn that the world is all but black and white. And that politics is a very dangerous game to play. Inspirations are/were of course the magnificent G.R.R. Martin and his Song of Ice and Fire series. But also Tolkien, Robin Hobb, and Jean M. Auel have inspired me in their own way.
                              
● Cassie, Magic: Oh that's very interesting! Those are definitely great inspirations to pull from. Was 2007 the first time you started writing or have you been writing longer than that?
                              
◎ Dante, Featured Author: I think I wrote my first 온라인카지노게임 back in primary school, but don't ask me what it was about. I also wrote a play about the Romans when I was ten years old. I had just learnt about Brutus killing Caesar and I was somehow fascinated by the 온라인카지노게임. The play was only performed once, to my mother who found it very fascinating. I didn't start writing proper stories until I was maybe 15 or 16 years old. I've always been fascinated by the mind and how the mind can make yourself crazy. My very first 온라인카지노게임 was about a guy who keeps having the same nightmares about his girlfriend dying and ends up with going completely cuckoo and killing his girlfriend. It was about 90 pages long and it's very badly written. The plot also makes zero sense. But, hey, that was my first 온라인카지노게임.
                              
● Cassie, Magic: That's a very intriguing first 온라인카지노게임! Stories are stories no matter what. I'm sure you have faced many obstacles in the many years of your writing career. Are there any specific obstacles you've faced when writing the series?
                              
◎ Dante, Featured Author: Combining writing with a full time job and a social life and another hobby (scouting) can be quite the obstacle, yes. Writing means sacrificing things. It has happened more often than not that I didn't catch up on that newest must-see Netflix show, or didn't start playing the hottest game of the season. In the last month of finishing the second draft of the first book, I even said to no to some parties cause I wanted to focus on writing. Yes, I even took days off work just to write.
                              
● Cassie, Magic: That's definitely understandable. If you had the chance, would you become a full-time writer?
                              
◎ Dante, Featured Author: I don't want to make writing a full-time career. I think my job at the bank keeps me from being a hermit. Plus, it puts food on the table and a roof over my head.
                              
● Cassie, Magic: It certainly makes sense! Writing is great as a hobby. So, how did you come up with the title of your series?
                              
◎ Dante, Featured Author: At first, the name of the book was gonna be A New Dawn. But when I noticed I wouldn't be able to tell the entire 온라인카지노게임 in one book, I decided to keep it as the name of a series. It's the fun part of working with children. You can watch them grow up and make changes to the world you created. In what way, I can't tell #spoilers.
                              
● Cassie, Magic: Putting children into a world definitely makes for a fun 온라인카지노게임. Speaking of that, we all know writers usually have secrets in their books. Has anyone guessed the secrets in yours?
                              
◎ Dante, Featured Author: Yes. There are some who catch the hints very early on. And there are those that only learn the secret when it's revealed.
                              
● Cassie, Magic: That's great! With only two more questions to go, how does it feel to have your book featured on our profile?
                              
◎ Dante, Featured Author: It's a great honour. It's nice to see that all the hard work pays off.
                              
● Cassie, Magic: I'm glad you think so! It certainly does pay off in the end. As my final question, do you have any advice for new writers?
                              
◎ Dante, Featured Author: Write for yourself first and foremost. Don't do it for the reads, the votes, or the comments. Success will come to those that persist. And don't forget to enjoy the writing process too. It's truly magical.
                              
● Cassie, Magic: That is some great advice! Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions!
