When I Was Starting Out,

My Personal Feeling About Science Fiction Is That It's Always In Some Way Connected To The Real World, To Our Everyday World.

No Matter What I Do, No Matter How Predictable I Try To Make My Life, It Will Not Be Any More Predictable Than The Rest Of The World. Which Is Chaotic.

Everything In My Life That I Value Has Been Gained At The Cost Of Not Saying What I Really Think And Saying What They Want Me To Say.

There Is Simple Ignorance, Not Knowing, And Willful Ignorance That Refuses To Know, That Covers The Light Of Knowledge With The Dark Blanket Of Bias.

When A Person Responds Emotionally To Intellectual Things, Or Emotionally Only To Traditional Emotional Things - I Find That An Interesting Break Between Myself And Some Other Writers And Fans.
