I have a better internal and intuitive understanding of folklore and myth than science and technology, so in that way fantasy is easier.

I graduated from the University of Michigan with a BA in Communications and left formal education behind.

I have to do more close research and fact checking for the science fiction. This is not however to say that writing good fantasy does not involve doing good research.

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.

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.

The Lord of the Rings movie set an entirely new standard for fantasy in the movies.
