Every spare second I would write, somehow. On my lunch hour, too.
For a feature in next month's issue of Prog magazine, the photographer spent many hours setting up a photo shoot of me with part of my music collection in my writing office. Since I do most of my writing outside in nature, we felt this shot was most representative.
If I could go back in time and tell my younger self that eventually that I'd become very successful writing Dune books after Frank Herbert's death, I would have laughed myself silly, I think, at how strange that prospect would be.
We wanted to write the first prequels as a story that anyone could pick up.
We sat around on a hotel balcony with a bottle of wine and tried to figure out how you would go about blowing up a planet. That's the kind of conversations science fiction writers have when they get together. We don't talk about football or anything like that.
I'm talking to you and it's basically a direct communication, whereas if I'm writing a letter to you and you read the letter, there are like 12 extra deconstruction and reconstruction steps in the communication.
My total year's income from working as hard as I possibly could from writing went from like $30 one year to about $70 the next year. And it made me realize that maybe you couldn't really pay the rent that way.
My wife and I are involved in writing/publishing/promotion twenty-four/seven. It isn't a day job; it's life.
Our serve is going to be one of our major strengths. But we're returning better, which is also the goal.
There's no new news here. This is the same thing they've been saying for months. Where's the beef?
We played hard the whole game. We gave a great effort. That's all we can ask.
Maybe it is a workaround, I don't really know. This is such old news there's nothing to comment on.
We could have filled up a couple of airplanes. Everyone wanted to be here.
From the very first point we played well.
