Do an honest self evaluation. I reached a point, as I worked on the first draft of Birkebeiner, where I decided I wasn't a good enough writer to make it a good story. I applied to the Stonecoast MFA progam at the University of Southern Maine. That hyper exposure to excellent writers and a tough and specific writing curriculum made a great deal of difference. Now it's practice, practice, practice.

Hi Mr. Foltz! So far you've created stories around World War II, and surrounding the age of the Vikings. I'm very anxious to know what's next! Both periods were times of significant war/conflict, and were turning points for that particular society. Do you plan to continue with these themes, or do you think your writing will take a different turn? I very much look forward to reading your next book! Take care :)
