• Earth humans stranded on the world provide comic relief as secondary characters
• The Freeborn series explores themes of power, magic, and freedom through the story of a magic-immune protagonist
• Writing advice includes finishing your manuscript before editing and aiming to write one page per day
• Good stories are more important than perfect writing - readers care about engaging narratives
• Contemporary literature can often engage students better than classical works in educational settings
