Gene Wolfe
You seem to think that the only genuine existence evil can have is conscious existence - that no one is evil unless he admits it to himself. I disagree.
Whether the medium is ready for consumers is better judged by those consumers. I sometimes read online - but not often. The stigma is attached to pay scales. Much online publication is no pay or small pay.
What would I do with NASA? Obviously that would depend on how much money I had to work with. But basically I'd put more effort into spaceboat development and less into flying missions of dubious worth.
We only have one dog now. Calamity Jane had to be put down. She was very old, and her medicine no longer controlled her seizures. Dilly is five now, I think. He's a neutered American Pit Bull Terrier, very gentle, about the color of buckskin.
The US military is already spread too thin. Sending American troops into Liberia was not only foolish but foolhardy.
The only convention on my schedule now is Windycon. That's quite near here, in November. I wouldn't attend an overseas con, or any distant con. Rosemary isn't up to travelling, and I'm not about to go away and leave her here alone.
The Briah Cycle seems to me to be as good a label as anyone is apt to find.
Rosemary is diabetic and has difficulty walking any great distance. Stairs are very hard for her. I have glaucoma. We're well otherwise.
Pas is certainly not Zeus. (No doubt he would like to be.) The classical gods are, in general, not as people today imagine them. Ares is the soldier god, not the war god, for example. Aphrodite is the sex goddess, not the love goddess; the love god is Eros, her son.
Online publication is fine with me, in part because I hope to collect those stories later.
NASA has suffered two disastrous crashes, the Challenger and the sainted Columbia. Both were vehicle failures. It needs a better boat.
My whole life experience feeds into my writing. I think that must be true for every writer. Clearly the Army and combat were major influences; just the same, you need to understand that many of the writers we have now couldn't load a revolver.
Knowledge is soon changed, then lost in the mist, an echo half-heard.
I've boxed, though not professionally.
I started thinking about knighthood, and wondering why that period has an eternal fascination for us. Greek myth is laid in the Golden Age.
I met a nice little boy named Nick. (He's not quite so little now.) He was very, very bright, and crazy about knights and the whole medieval scene. I tried to figure out what attracted him to it so much, and began to write a book.
I have read only the first 'Harry Potter' book. I thought it excellent, perhaps the best thing written for older children since The Hobbit. I wish the books had been around when my kids were the right age for them.
I felt I needed to bring in someone from outside, who would not have heard about the Aelf and Angrborn from childhood.
I don't think anyone is more intrinsically holy. People experience God in many ways; and it seems to me that God does what the rest of us do: He chooses the means that best gets His message across.
I began with the idea of writing about a good man in a bad religion. That's all.
