Nineteen-year-old Christopher Paolini has always loved adventure books. In fact, he plotted out his first book, Eragon, when he was just fifteen!Eragon is selling more copies than most of the Harry Potter books. A reporter from Who’s News talked to this young author about his books and how he ended up being one of the best-selling authors of all time!
Reporter: What inspired you to write Eragon?
Christopher Paolini(CP):I love the sense of respect and wonder that you always get at the end of a great book or movie. Eragon was an attempt to express that. When I was about twelve, I read a book called Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher. It’s about a young boy who went into a mysterious shop and bought a dragon egg that ended up hatching(孵出) stuck in my head. Eragon was an attempt to see what I could do with the idea myself.
Reporter:
CP: I’m definitely influenced by authors who have a fairly inventive use of language, imaginative worlds and a sense of wonder-authors who write about things that other people don’t.
Reporter: What was the hardest thing about writing Eragon?
CP: Probably the editing because I wasn’t used to it. It was a kind of shock doing it. But also I was having to learn a huge amount about grammar and punctuation(标点)and other things I’d never paid much attention to before. I’d say that editing and writing are pretty much equal in difficulty. My raw writing is a lot more professional now than it ever was before because of everything I learned through the editing process.
Reporter: How do you avoid becoming annoyed with the writing process?
CP: Write about what you enjoy the most or what touches you the most; otherwise you’ll never be able to survive a book-length project.
Reporter: Anything else you’d like to share with your readers?
CP: Before I wrote Eragon, I spent an entire month plotting out the entire story so I wasn’t writing blindly. That helps. It’s not just an adventure story; it is about Eragon trying to work out who we are, why we are here and how we can live honorably.
