Hey, everyone! Really excited to be answering your questions here. As you may know, I’m the author of the Inheritance Cycle, as well as The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm (short stories set in the world of Eragon), and an adult sci-fi novel, To Sleep in a Sea of Stars, which is publishing on September 15th this year. You can find info on all my books over at my website, [paolini.net](http://paolini.net/). The new book is my love letter to sci-fi, just as Eragon was my love letter to fantasy. It’s full of spaceships, lasers, explosions . . . and of course, tentacles!!!
So, AMA! Let’s make this one interesting. Have questions about getting started as a young writer? Have questions about dragons or spaceships? Weightlifting? Warframe? Editing? Beards? Reddit? (Hey, I’m a mod over at /r/eragon) Philosophy? Puns? You ask, I answer. 😀

Edit: Alright, let’s get this started!
Edit 2: Going to take a short break here. Have to comb my beard before doing a reading of Green Eggs and Ham over on my Insta in an hour. But I’ll be back! 😀 https://www.instagram.com/christopher_paolini/
Edit 3. I’m baaack. For a few minutes, at least.
Edit 4: Off to read Green Eggs and Ham!
Edit 5: Green Eggs and Ham is read, and I’m back answering questions.
Edit 6: Alas, I don’t have time to answer any more questions right now. I had a blast, though, and I’ll try to drop in and answer a few more messages over the next few days. As always, thanks for reading the books, and thanks for the awesome AMA! You’re the best!
