BROKEN EMPIRE KATHERINE OF MIANA SERIES

Even without upheaval a person is going to be changed beyond recognition by the passage of all those critical years. The biggest change going on with Jorg is the simple fact that we see him at age six, age 20, and many ages in between. A static character sounds boring - if significant things happen to a person it will have an impact and they will likely be shaped by it. It implies some form of over-arching planning. Mostly because I don't know what they mean. Lawrence: Phrases like 'character arc' make me nervous. What might readers expect for the conclusion of his character arc? The development his character receives is remarkable.

SFX : Jorg began the series as a 14-year-old. And there's no pre-planning taking place. if it looks like tight plotting that's well and good, but there's no conflict between writing and plot, they're the same thing. I make up the story as I go along - there's no plotting involved, events just unfold, I never feel I have a need to write anything specific. Lawrence: I'm not sure I know what a formal style of writing is or if mine qualifies or not. Is it difficult balancing how you like to write with what you need to write? SFX : This series is notable for the tight plotting, yet you have said that you prefer a looser, less formal style of writing.

The story takes me where it goes - that's the whole of the process. I would never feel the need to pull in some female characters into a story just to even out the headcount. Prince Of Thorns is a short and focused story, about a specific thing.

Lawrence: No, and I've never seen the writing of a book as an act of balancing representation. Are they going to have an even greater presence in this novel? The second book saw the prominence of Katherine and Miana. SFX : One occasional criticism of Prince Of Thorns was about a lack of female characters.
