Writers Craft
- He has never liked to write full time. Id
always written and worked on something else at
the same time. He thinks its too much
pressure. Like any other author he has a
love-hate relationship with writing. Its like
this urge that builds up and needs to be let out
. The book Sabriel won Best Fantasy Award, and
Best Young Adult Novel in 1995. The book
series, The Seventh Tower, made it on the
Publishers Weekly, for children's bestseller
list in September, 2001. His fourth book Above
The Veil, made a brief appearance on the New
York Times bestseller in April.

Writers Craft
- Garth Nix has some pretty amazing strategies
for writing, if there is something that he writes
and he thinks it has no potential, he triple
locks it in a chest Bound with deep chains, under
a slab of sealed away concrete. But for the most
part, he doesnt like to share his tips. - He says his writing tips are for him to know,
and for people to not find out. He thinks its a
good idea for you to make up some of your own
writing tips. Whether its listening to music,
singing a song, or locking yourself in a bedroom
until you have at least a rough draft of
anything, a story, or even a poetry.
