When I Have An Idea, It Goes

I Do Have A Small Collection Of Traditional Sf Ideas Which I've Never Been Able To Sell. I'm Known As A Fantasy Writer And Neither My Agent Nor My Editors Want To Risk My Brand By Jumping Genre.

I'm A Writer First And An Editor Second... Or Maybe Third Or Even Fourth. Successful Editing Requires A Very Specific Set Of Skills, And I Don't Claim To Have All Of Them At My Command.

There Is Nothing That Compares To An Unexpected Round Of Applause.

No One Uses A Ribbon Typewriter Any More, But Your Final Draft Is Not The Time To Try To Wring A Few More Sheets Out Of Your Inkjet Cartridge.

I've Read Short Stories That Are As Dense As A 19th Century Novel And Novels That Really Are Short Stories Filled With A Lot Of Helium.
