- Loved
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I loved the world of imagination.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I loved to read and to write, but then something happened. As I made my way through school, I kept getting handed books to read that didn't excite me and didn't even remotely connect to the realities of my life.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I never intended to be a professional writer; as the story developed, the one thing I had in my hopes was that this would be something tangible to separate me from the nameless, numbered masses.
- Die
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've always been a fighter. If you tell me I can't, I'll die trying to prove you wrong.
- Editing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
So, while I gave up the notions of publishing at that time, I never stopped editing and refining that book. A few years later, in 1987, I thought I had it ready to go out again.
- Amazing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Definitely they write themselves. It's an amazing experience. It's like the characters have come alive and are sitting on my shoulder talking to me, telling me their tales.
- Experience
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Writing a book for me, I expect, is very similar to the experience of reading the book for my readers.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't often know exactly what's coming next, and that makes it more fun. And you know, for me, this entire genre is all about that; it's all about having fun and getting away from the mundane world for just a little while.
- Internet
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Also, there are authors and publicists using the Internet to manipulate opinion, both positively for a work and negatively against the competition. I don't do this and can't stomach it, honestly.
- Job
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Writing is an incredibly lonely job.
- Business
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I didn't and don't go to Internet for any business purposes. The book sales for me by this point are way beyond any influence I might have, positively, or others might have, negatively.
- Business
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I do that mostly because I believe that the fantasy business is in terrible trouble right now, for several reasons, not the least of which being the almost Democrat vs. Republican mentality of readers on the Internet.
- Diversity
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Here's the thing, for me at least: this is a huge genre now. It wasn't always so. Not so many years ago, it wasn't so. There is a tremendous diversity in fantasy today.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
This is my spiritual journey through life, my way of making sense of the world. I don't need permission from anyone or accolades from anyone; it is completely internal.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
That's the whole point of writing to me - I put my characters under incredible duress, and from that comes their truth. In a way, I'm using them to try to find my own answers in life.
- Literature
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Science fiction is the ugly stepchild of mainstream literature, and fantasy is the ugly stepchild of science fiction, and tie-in novels are the ugly stepchild of fantasy... and on and on and on.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The most common criticism I've seen is that I write 'popcorn fantasy:' lightweight action-adventure. Some people call it that as they explain why they love it for exactly that reason. I'm cool with that, either way. I just nod and let it go.
- Change
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I won't hold any illusions of changing the world or any such nonsense. But maybe, just maybe, I'm helping someone else change his or her life a little bit for the better, even if it just means giving someone a magical place in which to hide.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Fantasy is like an idealized reality, and the core of fantasy is the one person can make a difference.
- Grounding
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Writing can be a tough gig. Whenever you do something in which you put yourself out there - if that becomes the focus of your life, you miss the point of living. You've really got to get the grounding of family and the things that are important in your life and make that your focus.
- Pretty
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think I'm a pretty well-kept secret.
- Memories
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Things don't really impress me. Memories impress me. It's not the toys, it's the people.
