I Turned My Home State Of Florida

I Did Not Know At First That It Would Be A Series; I Discovered After The First Novel That I Had More To Say About It, So I Did Another. And Another, And Then The Readers Demanded Yet More.

Adults Had The Notion That Juveniles Needed To Suffer. Only When They Had Suffered Enough To Wipe Out Most Of Their Naturally Joyous Spirits And Innocence Were They Staid Enough To Be Considered Mature. An Adult Was Essentially A Broken-down Child.

I Hope To Read A Harry Potter Novel Soon, To See What It's All About. I Admit To Being Annoyed That Many Good Light Fantasy Writers Have Had Trouble Getting Published, In England And Elsewhere, When It Is Obvious The Readers Were Waiting For Us All Along.

I Never Do A Full Outline, And If I Did, I Would Not Feel Bound To It, Because The View From Inside A Scene Can Be Different From The View Outside It. But Neither Do I Just Start Writing And See What Happens; I Am Far More Disciplined Than That.

When I Started Writing This, I Found That I Simply Couldn't Take Fantasy Seriously, So It Became Humorous, And Continued From There.
