I also asked Reintgen about the challenges he faced in building his writing life. He accomplished that goal by inviting his students into the process so he could improve his writing. Since he was a teacher at the time, he wanted his students to be interested in his book. For example, Reintgen told me that when he was writing Nyxia, he wanted to write a book that his students would enjoy. Maybe what your story needs is the help of someone who can somehow connect to the story.
If you do it all on your own, it’ll be easy to let things go unnoticed, that otherwise you might have had the chance to fix or improve.Ī trusted reader doesn’t necessarily have to be someone who has a lot of experience though. This allows you to have a wider perspective of how to develop your writing. Something else to take away from this is to learn to listen to any suggestions others might have, especially if they are someone who has experience writing. If you’re writing a book, poem, article, essay, or any other kind of writing, always make sure you love what you write. This is great advice for any kind of writing. And the likelihood of other people loving it is higher that way too!” said Reintgen. But if you write the book that you love, then you guarantee that at least one person in this world loves it. “ I was once told by another author that if you write the book you think someone else will love, and they don’t, then no one loves it. One of the things he learned from another author is that when writing a book, the most important thing is that you love your book first. The author of Nyxia learned a lot from other authors in his career. He continued to write and now his 10th book is going to be published, given most authors only ever write one book.Īnother important lesson to learn in writing is to be open to constructive criticism. He was able to learn from his mistakes and persevere through his challenges as a writer. Making mistakes is part of the process, and working through those mistakes guarantees that your writing will become stronger,” said Reintgen. “It’s really important not to give up when working on a writing project. When he was interviewed at the WHS library during the author visit, he mentioned that he tried many times before his first book got published. If you are someone who loves to write, Reintgen has great advice for you. Scott answered many questions related to the book, but also to his experience as an author. Now he’s about to publish his next book, A Door in the Dark. He wrote not only the Nyxia trilogy but also the Talespinners series, the Ashlords series, and The Problem With the Prophecies. Scott Reintgen is an accomplished author.
Last month, students at Waltham High School were introduced to the author of one of the summer reading books: Nyxia.
