A very informative piece on the pitfalls of writing and grammar.

AUTHOR EXTRAORDINAIRE

"Science fiction is a dialogue, a tennis match, in which the Idea is volleyed from one side of the net to the other. Ridiculous to say that someone 'stole' an idea: no, no, a thousand times no. The point is the volley, and how it's carried, and what statement is made by the answering 'statement.' In other words — if Burroughs initiates a time-gate and says it works randomly, and then Norton has time gates confounded with the Perilous Seat, the Siege Perilous of the Round Table, and locates it in a bar on a rainy night — do you see both the humor and the volley in the tennis match?"

"Remember, constantly, that when you talk about 'tense of a subjunctive,' you're not talking about time. You're slipping through degrees of reality."

"It is perfectly okay to write garbage – as long as you edit brilliantly."

"My worlds are complex, and often suggest more than one story."

"Writing day and night for months… that’s hard."

Author Extraordinaire C. J. Cherryh

I am that very witch. When I sleep my spirit slips away from my body and dances naked with the Devil. That's how I signed his book.
