Anything Full Murderhobo: An Interview with Dakota Krout

Dakota Krout is the author of the popular Anything Full Murderhobo series, which follows the adventures of a group of misfit adventurers as they travel through a dangerous and unforgiving world. In this interview, Krout discusses his inspiration for the series, his writing process, and his thoughts on the role of violence in fantasy fiction.

Q: What inspired you to write the Anything Full Murderhobo series?

A: I've always been a fan of fantasy fiction, and I've always been drawn to stories about characters who are on the fringes of society. I wanted to write a series about characters who were not the typical heroes or villains, but who were just trying to survive in a world that was often hostile to them.

Q: The Anything Full Murderhobo series is known for its violence and gore. What are your thoughts on the role of violence in fantasy fiction?

A: I think violence can be a powerful tool in fantasy fiction, but it's important to use it responsibly. I don't shy away from violence in my books, but I always try to make sure that it's justified and that it serves a purpose. I don't want to glorify violence, but I also don't want to shy away from it. It's a part of life, and it's a part of the world that I've created.

Q: What is your writing process like?

A: I'm a very structured writer. I usually start by outlining the story, and then I write a detailed synopsis. Once I have the synopsis, I start writing the first draft. I usually write very quickly, and I don't worry about making it perfect. I just get the story down on paper (or on my computer). Once I have the first draft, I go back and revise it. I usually do this several times, until I'm happy with it.

Q: What advice would you give to aspiring writers?

A: The best advice I can give to aspiring writers is to just write. Write every day, even if it's just for a few minutes. The more you write, the better you will become. Don't be afraid to experiment, and don't be afraid to make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, and the only way to learn is by making them.

Q: What are your plans for the future?

A: I'm currently working on the next book in the Anything Full Murderhobo series. I'm also working on a new novel, which is a standalone fantasy novel. I'm really excited about both of these projects, and I can't wait to share them with my readers.
