“When I made the decision to really get serious about my writing, I set...” — Peter V. Brett Quote

“When I made the decision to really get serious about my writing, I set myself a goal of 1,000 words a day for seven days. If I got to 7,000 words before Monday I could take a day off, but I had to get there. I had to do that every week.”

“I've been obsessed with demons since reading 'The Elfstones of Shannara' and 'Master of the Five Magics' by Lyndon Hardy.”

“I think each book sort of finds its own theme as it goes on. 'Warded Man' was fear. 'Desert Spear' was exploration of the other. 'Daylight War' was relationships. Some of this is intentional, and some of it evolves naturally. The series as a whole is obviously something I have given a lot of thought to, but each book is its own animal as well.”

“If you didn't relax away from your work, you'd tear your hair out in the middle of the night worrying about the next game when it's only a Monday and you're not playing until Saturday.”

“You know, I used to say, when people say, 'How do you think about what to write about in the poems every week?' And I say, 'Well, I have to turn it in on Monday, so on Sunday nights I turn the shower to iambic pentameter and it sort of works out that way.'”

“Telling someone you have a web series is the same thing as telling someone, 'On Monday, I start work at Chipotle.'”
