Working within the limitations of the shared world generally made the writing easier, because I didn't have to invent any of the characters or background, which is usually the hardest part.

I want a platform that, like a book or a magazine, I can carry into the bath or leave at the beach.

The mass-market paperback, for one, is too expensive.

I've learned that I get blocked when my subconscious mind is telling me that I've taken the work in a wrong direction, and that once I start listening to what my subconscious is trying to tell me, I can work out the problem and get moving again.

I'm in favor of any technology that makes my work available to the reading public at a reasonable price.

Try to meet as many authors, agents, and editors as you can.

That's why editors and publishers will never be obsolete: a reader wants someone with taste and authority to point them in the direction of the good stuff, and to keep the awful stuff away from their door.
