QUESTION
How did you start writing the series of Chronicles of Tierra? What is your process of writing? Do the ideas and word flow naturally and do you spend an hour or two every day doing this? How long did it take to write first novel of the series?
ANSWER
Just after I had turned 9 years old, I had the most amazing opportunity to attend a series of advanced meditations with my Mentor along with my parents. While doing these meditations, the whole story of the series of ‘Chronicles of Tierra’ started forming within my heart and mind. I received completely original ideas to plan and write series of these novels, their plots, names of characters, places, creatures and things in the story.
First of all, I noted all the vast list of original ideas of the whole series in a little notebook. It still exists and it is already full. After I had organized my thought, I planned the whole storyline for the Series of ‘Chronicles of Tierra’. Within few days I narrated a part of it to my mother. She encouraged me to tell me more and kept recording the story. Later they were typed, I edited it and finally the first book was published when I was 11 years. The other books of the series have been published one by one.
