So many people think that if you're writing fantasy, it means you can just make everything up as you go. Want to add a dragon? Add a dragon! Want some magic? Throw it in.

The thing with me is, about that – about rock and all that – years and years of crate-digging, listening to old music, you kind of start to connect the dots.
