I Used To Not Back Down From

In A Novel, I Could Submerge My Ego In A Characters And Let His Perceptions Take Over.

So When I Got Out Of The Military, I Went Back To School In Biology, And Earned A Biology Degree At The University Of Texas, And Then Did Some Graduate Work In It.

You Can Also Make Explicit Certain Social Problems Which, Again, Would Be Prejudged Or Not Encountered At All In Real Life, Because People Have Set Up Defenses Against It. Fantasy Allows You To Get Past Defenses.

When I Was Starting Out, I Did Not Do Short Fiction Well, Because I Kept Wanting To Write Books.

I Always Thought My Questions Were Wrong Questions Because No One Else Asked Them. Maybe No One Thought Of Them. Maybe Darkness Got There First. Maybe I Am The First Light Touching A Gulf Of Ignorance... Maybe My Questions Matter.
