conscious few hard hours novels slip stories weeks whereas writer
Well, to be honest I think I'm a better short story writer than a novelist. Novels I find very hard, hours and hours, weeks and weeks, of conscious thought - whereas short stories slip out painlessly in a few days.
care health looking open
Vendors looking at health care will find ample opportunities to open new relationships.
published sf type waiting wondering writer
Made it as a writer'? I'm still wondering if I've made it as a writer. I've made it as a published writer of the type of SF that I want to write and read, but I'm still waiting for that big breakthrough.
five next periods thousand three
I write about five thousand words a day, when working on a book, about three thousand a day if I'm writing a short story. I take long periods off between projects, when I read a lot, garden, and think about the next book or stories.

You don't have to fight for your life anymore. You're starting a new one.

To me, it's all about opening all the doors and getting people to be not only prolific, but creative and having control of their music.

I think my fascination is less with genre figures than with writers in general.

Which, of course, isn't the point of writing - but it would be nice if, along with the creative satisfaction of writing and seeing my work in print, I could do more than merely scrape a living. Okay, moaning over.

Why my interest in writers? Well, I'm one, and many of my friends are writers. I know what it's like to write. I'm interested in the creative process. I'm fascinated by the disparity between who we are on the outside, and what we have bubbling away inside us.
break editor hard magazine market names sell stories tales willing
The market for short stories is hard to break into, but a magazine editor isn't always looking for big names with which to sell his magazine - they're more willing to try stories by newcomers, if those tales are good.
average joined
The professionals are going to be joined by the average Joe. Everybody's a publisher.
perhaps written
The inspiration to write? Perhaps it's not so much inspiration, as a NEED to write. I get itchy and guilty and dissatisfied when I haven't written for a while. Ideas come to me and need to be written down.
restrict trying
We're not trying to say these things aren't available. We didn't want to restrict the player.
