David Hankins - Writers of the Future Winner Interview
.....theres no chapter lol
@@ericsneddon5926 and it's still an ongoing issue. I have many mixed feelings about Pat but we should look at all sides when it comes to difficult and frustrating circumstances like these.
There is a HUGE (and I mean huge) flaw in the kingkiller chronicles. How is it Chronicler wrote Mating Habits of the Common draccus, later kvothe read it at University, but Chronicler heard stories about Kvothe’s escapades at the University? Are we dealing with time travel or poor storytelling?
When it comes to Patrick Rothfuss and George RR Martin (Martin especially) I remember the guy who essentially made modern fantasy and the guy who influenced not just both of them but most modern fantasy writers and my fav, Tad Williams and his third book in his foundational 'Memory Sorrow and Thorn' series. Williams was heavily criticized back in the early 90s by many literary circles and fantasy fans that he took a whopping 3 years to be able to finish his final Book To Green Angel Tower. a lot of writers found this to be extremely indulgent of him and akin to scaming his fans since he had a schedule to release his books. I cant remember which literary critic who said it was so I might be misquoting but they said 'no matter how eloquent or sophisticated the end product is, you still have a deadline and a fulfilment to your audience. Hemingway was on schedule. Does Tad think he's more important than hemingway?' george even stood up at a book signing when Tad came in and yelled 'what do you think you're doing here!? Get back home and finish to green angel tower!' Tad did finish his book however, a massive tomb of over a million words so big it had to be divided into two paperbacks. I think Patrick and George should look back at the guy who inspired their literary word and be inspired by his work ethic as well.
To make you feel good about your decision, Donald Trump sat down for three hours on a podcast with Joe Rogan and talked about UFO's before a book 3.
What a pathetically spiteful clan you seem to be. Typical of the type of person who loves something so much that they come to hate its creator. More likely a projection of your self-loathing. Wouldn't surprise me if Rothfuss never writes the third book lest it re-energise your idiocy.
You're not missing much they are some of the worst books I've ever read. Some of the most overpraised, trash writing that is ever been put before my eyes. The second book is basically just him having a sex fantasy about how he's a sex god with fairies that's not even an exaggeration. Unequivocally everyone who's ever told me they love this book is an incel. I just can't wait until they all finally admit it when he dies and the book still isn't done
"Ten heros for one villain who is almost un killable
The firsr book was great, but i think he started to loose it midway through the second book. At a point i wondered if it was a different story. There is no way he can successfully complete what he set up in just one book. That could be part of why he is struggling so hard to write it. With the amount of things that need to happen from where book 2 ended to where he is as an Inn owner, there is no way it can only be written in a book. I doubt we ever going to see a book 3, so i stopped bothering myself about it.
It’s simple as to why there is no book 3. He Loves the attention, whether positive or negative from people talking about where book 3 is. let’s face it, he popular to an extent but that popular compared to george r r martin for example and he is desperately holding on to thst little attention he has left. Once the book is released interest in what he does next will disappear.
😊Great episode. Thanks for the mention. Short stories are a wonderful way of feeling that sense of accomplishment!!! 🦋
He is just scamming you. He knows what to say to get you to let him continue to be a fraudster. Don’t believe his fake ass 😢😢
People often defend authors by saying “They don’t owe you anything/you don’t own them” or “George RR Martin is not your bitch” as Neil Gay-man put it. But there comes a point where it’s like “do some work you fat nerd”
I totally agree. As an author and creative with ADHD, finishing larger projects sometimes feels impossible. Meeting smaller goals feels amazingly successful. Your book Finish Your Story has been very helpful, too.
I'm so happy you enjoy the book! 📚
*takes notes in wants to be a "villain" irl*
I think Patrick stole the story and thats why he just whoring his way out as a streamer
@@robertocarmomascarenhas1060 I've heard ghost writer and some other ideas but that's a new one
@@Narrative_Ink have you ever read lies of loke lamora? Kvote is praticaly him
@@robertocarmomascarenhas1060 I've read the first two books. Hmm interesting
I have come to really live flash fiction and short stories. They allow me to feel the accomplishment of truly finishing a story.🦋
Great info bought your kindle book🏆
@@DivestedConfessions thank you! I hope you enjoy it!
@@Narrative_Ink you’re welcome appreciate your content. working on a collection of separate novelettes. I know I’m on to something because a lot of people have told me I can’t do it. They’re almost done and they’re fabulous. I’m inspired by the writing economy of Ernest Hemingway Langston Hughes & the urban raw satire of Donald Goines. A variety of different stories and characters all based in modern dystopian San Francisco
I gave up on that hack years ago. He turned out to be a serial grifter and charlatan. And by the way, book 2 is poorly written. Deanna is a dreadful character, she seems like a monster besides being a boor and boring.
Im convinced his ghost writer died 🤷♂️
Don't blame you.
😂 I came here via November Növelet. A change of pace for sure, but an interesting one
@@ElDaumo glad you enjoyed it haha 😂
What a great interview! I can't wait till Dragonsteel Nexus!!!
@@karra827coleen he's such a nice person! You should definitely say hello to him!
This is so great!
If he just wrote, immersed himself in his story , his mental issues would dissolve. Its fair to say the big lights shook him up. Understandable
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard... You obviously don't know how depression works.. pull your head out of your ass!
This look interesting....
@@frisktechgames9327 thank you! Check out the Kickstarter page!
Name of the Wind is very overrated in my opinion. I had heard great things and had high hopes. It felt like he was trying to make his own Harry Potter world with a Brandon Sanderson magic system and an edgy revenge backstory. It might have gone better if the main character wasn't so annoying with how he told his own story: "Let me tell you about this most amazing beautiful woman, oh it's the girl I had already been talking about oops" "I taught myself how to play on a continusly breaking violin i'm soooo talented" "ughh dragons aren't real but let me tell you about how I killed something that any sane person would classify as a dragon".
the first book is worth reading even if the story would never get finished
@@AttitudeAdjusterAA what is good about the first story? These days I'm hearing mixed reception and that the first book is considered more overrated.
Stop complaining wench
glib lies run off the tongue of this man , and he has hijacked the "mental health" aspect to put off people , "and as far as mental health goes it hasn't affected his ability to make numerous public appearances , run a non-charity , make several youtube videos , he is not wallowing in a mire of self doubt and depression , or paranoia , he could not do the things he has done if he was ,no , this man is nothing but a scammer ,a con man
Rothfuss is not an imaginative visionary , he is a base crass man who is arrogant and abrasive , look at the "cards against humanity" , a game that appeals to a low standard mentality , all combine to create doubt as to his ability to write the KKC , but blessed with enough rat cunning to steal another persons work , and to promote himself as to his parlous state of mind
simply put , Rothfuss never wrote the books , just put his name to it , and whoever did for some reason will not write ,or release , the third installment , and the reason would be money , probably promised and ripped off by Rothfuss, hence the no show , and if it did get released by the original author he has probably threatened to sue for copyright , so it will never happen . Many authors use ghost writers to accomplish what they can't /won't so why should rothfuss be any different ? because he doesn't have the imagination that created the first books, therefore can't relate any ideas to a ghost writer
“Add some death depth to it” ☠️ I think both work lol this video was really good advice yo. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for the kind words!
As a writer, I can say that having people pester you about something that they're interested that you created doesn't entitle them to your media. If you have an issue with Patrick not releasing his story right one that can Garner as much critical Acclaim as him and then shut up and collect your rewards
@@isaiahwells9937 If you watch the video you know it's not about the third book but about the fact that he promised people a chapter from the third book. They paid for it and years later still hasn't given it out. They paid for a product that was promised. That product was never delivered. That's why people are upset.
@@Narrative_Ink and yet, as a creative, I still believe that if you don't believe that the product that you're putting out is to the standard that you would want it to be. Then giving people what they paid for doesn't include sending out half-assed work. I'm not telling you not to be upset. I'm just saying that yes, while he is accountable for the promises that he made, he's also responsible for putting out the best version of his work that's possible
@@isaiahwells9937 true, but it goes to a deeper issues. Does he even have a chapter to give? People paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for one chapter and he never delivered. Why is that? Is it because he wants to provide the best thing possible or is it because there was never a chapter in the first place? There was many issues with how Pat is doing things and the lack of communication is one of the worst.
He owes us the book if he wants people to pay attention to him at any point.
He's a hack. Always hiding behind things. He just wrote himself into a corner, either his anxiety is super strong (easily fixable with his resources) or he can cynically bank off and have an easier life by just letting it hang.
authors who take too long to continue a series are like bad relationships, know when to walk away. i agree with the sentiment " i don't care anymore"
Patrick is very lucky to have such a large fanbase, only to treat them like trash or replaceable income. Many aspiring writers would have killed to be in his position. Also wtf does he stream about in the first place? If hes that tired of being asked about the third book then he shouldnt be streaming.
Seethe about it, Marx cosplayer
Marx cosplayer?
Name of the Wind. The first popular fantasy book that I completely hated. Which really surprised me. It was like a bootleg harry potter with none of the exciting parts and the main character is a mary sue(perfect at everything with no practice). Utter garbage.
Just added your book to my Amazon cart!!
Thank you so much! I'd really appreciate a review as well when you get the opportunity 😁
@@Narrative_Ink Will do!
patrick rothfuss is not your bitch - probably neil gaiman, one day
I think that he got sucked up by the LGBTQ ideology which heavily weights on current media. Therefor, he is unable to set forth the path he once had without the LGBTQ propaganda. Like in the newest book with Bast, which is pretty good, he definitely went and created that LGBTQ mess in there aswell. While there is no mix of skin tones (which does not make sense if people live anywhere for dozens of generations) we have explicit gay and trans characters. And I believe that his "old view" of stuff, which I would call common sense is not his current view anymore. He does not like how he depicted women for example and he can not repeat it. Because poor guy got brainwashed.
That's the stupidest comment I've read in a while. I'm kinda in awe.
Yet he released two side stories? Wouldnt you say that would discount writers publishing anxiety. Also hard to compare you releasing your first novel and his 5th or 6th and his first novel was published almost 20 years ago. Yet would be nice if he was more honest.
The last one he published was a rewritten short story. Sure it added some stuff, but it still wasn't worth the hype and no one is talking about it because of how much bad faith he has.
@Narrative_Ink is true not arguing that fact. I'm just stating he is not comparable to you because you are just starting he is well established, and he scammed money. You didn't.
Nor he nor us are ready for the third book yet. The day shall come and it is not today.
Perhaps Brandon Sanderson can finish it he did a decent job with wheel of time even if his own works don't captivate me much. Why you tube recommends this to me now I have no idea as I have not even googled Patrick Rothfuss in at least 5 years.
I don't want that. Brandon has enough to do with his own works and if Pat isn't in the right space to finish his work. If Robert Jordan can take his story and work to his death and make sure it's done then Pat should be able to get his 3 books done. Brandon needs to finish his books he has enough to do.
I think Sanderson is more passionated about the Cosmere and his other series than about another author's series.
Wonder who's worse martin or pat??
I'd say Pat. He's done less work and produced less than GRRM has. GRRM is not moving forward with his main series but he's still active and giving updates whereas Pat isn't doing many updates.
@@Narrative_Ink well he's been giving updates for 10 years
@@OscarSanchez-vd8lq which one? Because no one not even Pat's editors knows what's going on with his books.
@@Narrative_Ink martin of course
Dear Commenters. Rothfuss does not OWE you his writing and his creativity. YOU are not ENTITLED to what he offers. This is about YOUR mental health and generic narcissism where Rothfuss not completing things is somehow about YOU. He has ADHD and the resulting lack of self-confidence. He is struggling with making CHOICES under pressure and unless you have that brain issue, you DO NOT UNDERSTAND it. You can't see inside someone else's head. So why not just shrug and go on with your life? WHY make it harder for him by attacking him and accusing him of being able to control all that but choosing not to? How the F would you know that?
He does not owe us anything but what was already paid for. People paid for the chapter and he does owe them that.
At this point, I don’t care reading about a Mary Sue character like Kvothe. I want to read about the monumental struggle Pat has faced since the 90s trying to publish the kingkiller chronicle- I’m sure it’s a more interesting story.
