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

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

[aliphaunt]

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

[inkflowers]

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

[aliphaunt]

I'll try and start too.....

[inkflowers]
