1. I did some research about you, and I learned that you were actually a accountant for 8 years and because of your passion of writing you would write every Saturday to meet your writing goals. After working hard during the week and writing these long novels during the weekends, I have a question to ponder my mind. I want to know how you managed your time, social life, and family relation and still have time to do your passion and really what you like in writing?
The reason why I am asking this question is because we have so many things we like and passions in our life, but we are not able to do our passions and things that we like to do because we have to do our work, manage your family and stay involved in our social life. When we stay engaged in doing all these things we never get time to do what we like and our passion. I want to know how Mr. Dashner was able to do everything and still do what he likes to do.
2. As a young writer, even when I have to write a short story, I have so many writers block and other situations where I just run out of ideas. Many times in my story I loose the reader attention and the story gets boring. When I read you novel, you always kept my attention, which made me, read the book more and more. As a professional writer, I would like for you to give me any advice or suggestion for writing.
Even when we have to write a small short story in class that the teacher has to read we still run out of ideas and we take so much time. I want to know how Mr. Dashner is able to keep his readers attention over such a long book and the ideas that he uses are just unimaginable. I really would want him to give me advice so I can improve my writing skills.
3. Recently I found out that a movie about the Maz...

7. After finishing this series, are you planning to write a brand you series? It would be really appreciated by the readers, if you were to give a glimpse of the new series for the anticipating readers waiting for your next series.
As a reader I really want something like a trailer of glimpse given by the author so we know what to expect from his next series of books. I am anxiously anticipating for his next series he is going to write.
I read the rubrics of the questions and it tells you to ask questions about the main character. Because the Maze Runner is a big series and has several books, that I am planning to read, which is why I mainly asked question about author and writing instead of the plot and character, which I feel, will be answered in the following books.
As if being the father of two children and a dedicated husband were not enough, Victor Terhune has to balance his family life with his job. Victor currently works as a Technical representative for the sales department at Weastec in Dublin, Ohio. Though work holds him back from doing some of the things that he would like to be doing, like spending more time with his wife and sons, this is a common theme for many workers today in a relationship with their desire to be with their families. Victor strives to get resolution to this by making time by driving home right after work and focusing on that quality time with his family.

As these few tales reveal, my memories of writing are strongly connected with the intense emotions I felt as I grew up. They are filled with joy, disappointment, boredom, and pride. I believe that each of these experiences has brought me to where I am today. I can only look to the future and hope that my growth will continue, and my writing will reflect those changes within me. As a writer, I have grown immeasurably and will continue to so long as I can find some paper and a pencil.
The books were full of edgy, scary grit that had the power to infect every facet of the mind – causing plenty of darkness laced paranoia and sleepless nights. But, that was half the fun (at least it seems that way now). From zombies, mummy’s and talking dummies, the seemingly endless array of villainy was enough – one story
