After all, you actually need to write to consider yourself a writer. His advice for himself? He’s taking the same tip he gives to budding writers: Just put pen to paper. As a beloved author in the world of science fiction, the pressure is on now that he’s writing his next book. Project Hail Mary and Artemis really hone in on space as a character, and Weir acknowledges as much when he talks about his books’ structure. Since completing The Martian, Weir has kept his eyes trained on worlds beyond ours. In no time, The Martian was a bestseller, and on its way to becoming a massively popular movie. After creating weekly blog posts to share his work, thousands of his fans requested he publish it on Amazon - and the rest, as they say, is history. Before he became a self-published, best-selling author, Weir spent two decades working as a software engineer, and it wasn’t until he was laid off that he actually got to pursue writing as more than just a hobby. Sandra and Sandy are excited to welcome Andy Weir, renowned author of Project Hail Mary and, more famously, The Martian to the podcast.
