morning night sour-milk
My joking answer to this question is that I leave a bowl of milk out on the back porch every night for the Idea Fairy. In the morning, the milk is gone and there's a brand-new shiny idea by the bowl.
ideas creating use
So, one of the things I was doing with the aliens in The Quiet Invasion was creating that advanced society which had ideas about morality and proper use of natural resources that were radically different from ours, as the Europeans were from the American Indians.
fall character piano
I describe my plots as follows; A character is walking down the street when all of a sudden a piano falls on them. They spend the rest of the story digging out from under that piano. How they dig, how long and how well, this all depends entirely on the character.
phases feels right-now
I feel SF is going through an experimental phase right now.
california born sacramento
I myself was born in Sacramento, California in 1966.
summer college tea
When I was in college, I spent a summer working in London. I'd enjoyed tea before that, but then I got actual, really good tea there and never looked back.
fantasy lord standards
The Lord of the Rings movie set an entirely new standard for fantasy in the movies.
brilliant butlers disturbing
Octavia Butler, of course, is brilliant and disturbing.
guilt expansion glory
Now, of course, the great thing about the solar system as a frontier is that there are no Indians, so you can have all the glory of the myth of the American westward expansion without any of the guilt.
strong character plot
I'm told my SF is of the hard variety and my Fantasy is romantic but hopefully all the characters are strong and the plots are lively.
fiction stories novelists
I'm mostly a novelist these days, but I have written short stories in Fantasy, Science Fiction and horror.
character mind stories
If I get blocked, it is generally because I don't know enough about some aspect of the story or the characters. The answer for this is generally more research, or making more background notes, so the place and person can be more fully realized inside my own mind.
thinking would-be expansion
All of this got me thinking about the history of the westward expansion, and got me to wondering how the exploration of the Solar System would be changed if there were an indigenous presence out there.
thinking fantasy range
Fantasy is, of course, booming, and I think it's beginning to stretch its range as well.
