“When I'm writing a book, generally I start with the mood and setting, along with a couple of specific imagesthings that have come into my head, totally abstracted from any narrative, that I've fixated on. After that, I construct a world, or an area, into which that general setting, that atmosphere, and the specific images I've focused on can fit.” WorldWritingBookCoupleFitAreasFocusedMoodSettingSettingsNarrativeAtmosphereConstructsWriting A Book Author:China Mieville
“First we start with the lyrics. Most of the lyrics are done by Stefan Kaufmann and me. When we have enough lyrics and enough stories we have the lines to make titles. Then we collect all the ideas of everybody in the band and see which ideas fit together the best with the lyrics to get the right atmosphere. That's the way we compose.” WayFirstsIdeasDoneEnoughStoriesTogetherLinesFitBandTitlesAtmosphere Author:Udo Dirkschneider
