For years, I thought I simply didn't dream. I felt left out. Everybody else had a thing I didn't have.
I wrote the very first stories in science fiction which dealt with homosexuality, The World Well Lost and Affair With a Green Monkey.
Basically, fiction is people. You can't write fiction about ideas.
Nothing is always absolutely so
There is no way of writing stories that I haven't done.
As far as hypnosis is concerned, I had a very serious problem when I was in my twenties. I encountered a man who later became the president of the American Society of Medical Hypnosis. He couldn't hypnotize me.
