Questions and Answers from Daniel Brynmor

For enjoyment mainly. It also helps to get the vast amount of thoughts out of my head and onto paper (or screen).

The best outcome is that people read it, even if you absolutely abhor my style and perspective. That’s all I truly need to make my publishing satisfactory. It’s a wonderous plus when people may feel enlightened, thought-provoked or if they may have learned something that they already did not know.

Reading, ultimately, sparked my writing. I enjoyed English classes in school, especially creative writing, and sometimes received good marks and recognition. This continued into further education and university, where some coursemates occasionally asked for feedback on their writing. It wasn’t until I started reading more regularly at 17 that I began writing more as a hobby. Now, I write books.

Similar questions:
Some people might find your views offensive. How do you respond to that?
Your writing challenges some commonly held beliefs. Why?
How do you respond to criticism of your work?

My response:
Most of my work tends to come from a cynical perspective, not for the lighthearted and thus not catering to the tastes of most. My writing can be opinionated, some might say, but I do my best to stick to the facts and science where necessary. However, even with this consideration, people will still be offended. Many things in life, in living, and in society are too uncomfortable to accept for most, and criticisms are likely to come from them. Hostile, disapproving, and unfavourable reception is something I expect, especially from readers who are not familiar with my style of writing or perspectives. I have no interest in pleasing critics. I would not write in the first place if I was forced to flatter and appease. If readers are not interested in polemics, which is what most of my books are, then they may want to stick to romantic fiction.
