Growing up, R.A. Salvatore was one of my favorite fantasy writers. He did this wicked series called "Forgotten Realms", which began with a book called "The Crystal Shard". I HIGHLY recommend that you hunt that puppy down and read, like, the first nine books of that series.
The man's style of fantasy was crisp, a joy to read, filled with interesting characters, and had some of the best fight scenes I've ever read. Salvatore's a flat-out genius.
And, while putzing around YouTube, I stumbled across a Q&A session that he did in Toronto last year. The attached link will guide you to the one that caught my eye/ear the most.
He was asked (in a roundabout way) for any words of wisdom he would give to an aspiring writer. And his answer was interesting . . .
