Gabriele Russo I think there are no more ebook now that my publisher is closed. Or maybe only of the last one, Incoherent Gods. There are a few paperbacks here and there, but not very many.
Gabriele Russo It's so hard to choose, I can't decide between the Dune Universe or the one from Wheel of Time. In the first I would try to become a Bene Gesserit, in the second an Aes Sedai - guess I have an appetite for power ;)
Gabriele Russo I would love to know more about my great-grandfather, who is said to have made fortune three times to lose it three times (the family legend even says he invented Marmite-which might explain why he was exiled from his village and had to live in England for many years).
He was a German living in Silesia (which is now part of Poland), and at the end of the Second World War, fearing the Russian invasion, he sent my grandfather and his family away to the west. He chose to remain to protect the family estate and was never heard from again.
Gabriele Russo This is a hard one for me as I'm not much into romance. I prefer unconventional pairings to a couple falling in love. This being said, I've started watching The Santa Clarita Diet and I find the married for 19 years couple quite endearing. I think that's what real love should be about: being able to have fun together, and sticking it out through thick and thin.
Gabriele Russo Be sure you want to do this. Write a good story. Make sure it is well written - take a creative writing class if you need to. Believe in yourself, but learn to accept criticism and rejection. Then persevere, persevere, and persevere. And when you do get published, listen to your editor.
Gabriele Russo I sit down, I write one word, then one sentence, then a page... I get inspired by writing.
Gabriele Russo I get to decide my own schedule
Gabriele Russo The third book in the Gods Inc. series and translating Incompetent Gods into French.
Gabriele Russo To be frank, I’ve never had a bad case of writer’s block, but when what I’m working on isn’t coming out, or coming out wrong, I switch to something else. If all else fails, I give up for the day and spend the afternoon doing things that help clear my mind, like paint or play tennis.
