stars sorry character
I'm sorry, but anyone who thinks the use of an angelic (or seemingly angelic character), whose likes have been written about for, oh, about 4,000 years, is ripping off Star Trek, has his head so thoroughly up his ass as to have blipped into an entirely new intestinally-based reality and desperately needs to get a wider frame of reference.
philosophy want rooms
My philosophy: find what it is you want to say, walk in the room, say it, and get the hell out.
writing levels sometimes
Whenever you write for someone else, you're always aware - sometimes overtly, other times at an almost cellular, subliminal level - of the rules about what you can and can't do.
cat toys universe
The universe considers me its personal cat toy.
mind
I always knew that I was going to be a writer. There was no question in my mind about that.
morning knowing lucky
I wake up every morning knowing how ridiculously lucky I am to be able to do what I love for a living, and that sense of wonder never, ever wears off.
running book writing
The problem with writing a monthly book is that you're going through your work like a man running for a bus, red-faced and out of breath. There isn't time for reflection or critical self-examination.
character destiny said
When the Seinfeld show said it was going to be a show about nothing, everybody said it couldn't - wouldn't work. It did. Thor is about something, about that character finding his destiny, but it's not doing what was expected... and yet it's doing very well.
atheist believe mean
Thank you, but I'm afraid I can't accept your compliment. You see, I'm an atheist, so if I'm also God, that would mean that I don't believe in myself, and at this point in my life, I don't need the added insecurity.
thinking television programming
To understand this whole area, you have to stop thinking like a viewer and start thinking like a network programming exec.
teaching priorities challenges
What are the purposes and priorities of teaching? . . . First, to inspire. Second, to challenge. Third, and only third, to impart information.
memories thinking brain
I think that we are already making steps toward mapping out the brain so we can identify the chemical patterns that create and store memory.
ideas choices tears
I'm a big believer in the idea that while we are the sum of our tears, we are also the product of our choices in how we deal with those tears.
fans fiction stories
I've always been a science fiction fan since I had understood the conception of what a story was.
