What I like least is dealing with publishers who simply don't want collaborations regardless of their merit.

I don't want ever to be guilty of what my critics claim: doing formula without original elements.

For our stories are not yet finished, and perhaps will never be.

I hope to read a Harry Potter novel soon, to see what it's all about. I admit to being annoyed that many good light fantasy writers have had trouble getting published, in England and elsewhere, when it is obvious the readers were waiting for us all along.

Never thought I'd see the day when Death was denied. That leaves taxes as the only certainty.

Obviously it could be, because it was.

Have a working spouse, because you won't earn a living from writing - not at first, if ever. My wife worked for years to support us.
