art moving fate
Art goes into the world unarmed, vulnerable to every quirk of fate, and it must survive only by its power to move men not to destroy it.
editors worry goal
Very few editors worry about heresy - their goals are much too commercial, thank goodness.
philosophy ghouls vampire
Isn't that an odd philosophy for a vampire?
time thinking careers
I think it is probably more important to attend specialized conventions for a journeyman writer than any other, but it's useful at all stages of a career, if for nothing else, to find out how the industry is working at any given time.
names common-folk lasts
Common folk didn't have last names in the 8th and 9th centuries.
real two giving
I outline fairly extensively because I'm usually dealing with real events. I don't need to give myself as much information as I used to, but I still like to have two pages of outline for every projected 100 pages of manuscript.
real goes-on pages
If they aren't real enough to surprise me, then they aren't real enough to go on the page.
collaborators
I'm not a good collaborator in general.

Providing a writer isn't put off by conventions - and some are - attending them can be a nice break from the necessary isolation of writing.
hands opera knees
I ride horseback - arthritic knees permitting - or listen to opera. Sometimes I cook. I used to do needlework, but it's hard on my hands now, so I only do it occasionally, but I like it. And, of course, I read.
character stories plot
Storylines are how characters create the plots involved in their stories.

When you're a mid-list writer, it pays to write fast.
