The biggest fool is the one who thinks he knows it all.

If every editor turns you down, maybe you should take a second look at your text, however, just in case.

Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker series also shows the potential of lighter fantastic fiction. I read the first, and listened to a tape of a later one, and it's fun.

It would be easier to write a novel without reader input, but I feel the fiction is richer for it.

At present I answer about 100 letters a month, and read 300 emails.

I wish my readers took less of my time - about a third of my working time goes to them - but I love and need them all.
