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.

That bedrock faith that I could write was what blinded me to attempts to discourage me.

It took me about 12 years to reach my million-word mark. The challenge now is to continue to challenge myself.

Ideas aren't magical; the only tricky part is holding on to one long enough to get it written down.

Editors of open anthologies actively seek submissions from all comers, established and unknown. They are willing to read whatever the tide washes up at their feet.
