He’s lived a fiction. And, of course, he thinks that if you love someone enough, they will love you. And that if you steer things enough, things will, under your control, come right.

The writer’s responsibility is to increase, develop our senses, expand our vision, heighten our awareness and enrich our articulateness Picture Quote #1

Fiction is about feeling, which is to say that short stories are about all of us Picture Quote #1

I find it’s bizarre that science fiction is the one branch of television to push the idea of strong female characters. And I only call it bizarre because strong women aren’t fiction Picture Quote #1

A rustic setting always suggests fantasy; to suggest science fiction, you need sheet metal and plastic. You need rivets Picture Quote #1
