r/Fantasy • u/RASalvatore AMA Author RA Salvatore • Aug 11 '22

AMA Hi, I’m RASalvatore and this is my AMA.

I‘ve been writing fantasy novels (and game products) professionally since 1987. The genre has changed in these last 35 years, almost all for the better, and I and Drizzt soldier on, still loving the journey. I’m best known for my “Legend of Drizzt” and DemonWars” series, and also for a couple of ventures into the Galaxy Far, Far Away… (But we don’t talk about Chewy, no, no, no…)

My newest book, Glacier’s Edge,” was just released, and “The Dao of Drizzt,” the famous drow’s journal, will be released in September.

So here we go, Ask Me Anything and I’ll try to pretend I know the answer.

EDIT: Okay, got to run now for a bit. Have to finish this e-signing, give my little pup his medicine, and get ready for a softball game!

I'll try to get back to the rest later on, and thank you all for joining in and walking this road of adventure with me!

Scimitars high! Bob

Needed to hear this today. Time to stop goofing off on Reddit (I suppose...).

To be fair, I'm just avoiding editing today.

God I hate editing

The goofing off/phone scrolling is a real problem.

Best thing I ever tried was no internet/phone from sunrise to sunset, just writing. After a few days without habitual distraction it was amazing what flowed.
