The fantastic ideas of a fourteen-year old, a fantasy novel by a 14 year old? Of course, that works if you’re – linguistically gifted as Alexander Vaassen -, is equipped with a certain perseverance and strong will. Already in the 1st class, Alexander wrote little stories together with his Grandpa. He began at the age of 12, writing the first novel. 2008, he flew to Mallorca with his grandparents, his baggage consisted mostly of much empty paper. And at the end of the holiday, he finished proud 150 pages. At home he typed it in the PC, rejected much and rewrote it; inspired by the school, the fellow, his animals and his hobbies such as drama, horseback riding, and trombone.
Now he hopes that his first work will give many people reading pleasure. Interview by Tino Hemmann Publisher with the open-minded young author (14) Alexander Vaassen: T.H..: what were the reasons that you started with writing? Can I dutzen you yet? A.V..: of course, like I thought it was just incredibly exciting to write stories. The was already in elementary school. It is really great to create its own worlds where things happen, sometimes even surprise you by words. T.H..: when exactly did you decided to write a book first? A.V..: Oh, that I think was in the sixth grade.
It was still a pretty confusing collection of ideas that have focused on my favorite television shows and books. In the summer of 2008, I had a completely different idea in the holiday from now on equal and I was so glad that I have filled several blocks to her. I am writing mainly to let off a little steam. And if all that accumulates over the day, wants to get out, is fantasy the best valve. T.H..: the most recent authors writing mostly love stories. Did you pick the genre fantasy.
