Christopher Paolini’s abiding love of fantasy and science fiction inspired him to begin writing his debut novel, Eragon, when he graduated from high school at 15. Now 19, he lives with his family in Paradise Valley, Montana, where he is at work on Eldest, the next volume in the Inheritance trilogy. I AM SO JEALOUS!!! NINETEEN?? I am nineteen!

I know, it's so disheartening when you hear about people who wrote their first novel aged 14 or 15.... It was fine when I was younger than them, I just had time to develop, but now I'm 17, I haven't got a leg to stand on.... Everytime we hear about these child prodigies, my mum goes 'when are you going to write your novel/ win your Oscar/ get your recording contract/ etc?
*rolls eyes*

Oh, I so feel your pain, only I'm the one berating myself. Some people are geniuses, some are not. Although this fact, among other things, might inspire me to actually start writing.

And 17 is a fine age to start doing something amazing. :D

Yes! We should both start writing now, and have our novels finished by the end of the year! Deal?

Deal. I don't know if I'll actually finish, but I'll definitely try. *crosses fingers*

That book was amazing. I tried to block his age from my mind, because, you know, mad jealousy.

DUDE I KNOW!
*attempts to start novel now* Hmm, if he's one of the younger fantasy writers, maybe I can tackle the Chick Lit genre... we must attack from all angles!

Maybe if I try really hard I can write a picture book or two...

Or one of those easy read books, with like ten pages in font size 30?

inkflowers January 19 2005, 15:57:23 UTC

That'd be very cool. I'd buy one!

At my age, you just give up......I am older than all of my heros when I was a teenager......

nomkaz January 18 2005, 15:04:20 UTC

Though, come to think of it, most of my heros now...are dead...so.....

inkflowers January 19 2005, 02:56:17 UTC

Gah, that's slightly disheartening. Hopefully you'll find new ones.

nomkaz January 19 2005, 16:18:48 UTC

Well, at least dead heros can no longer let you down......

inkflowers February 5 2005, 14:06:21 UTC
