What Did A Few Ripples

Heroics Are Not Easily Had For The Young In Our Times. Perhaps That Is Why They Go To Such Extremes To Create Their Own Dangers.

I'm Always Aware That I Risk Being Taken For A Neurasthenic Prima Donna When I Explain To Someone Who Wants 'just A Little' Of My Time That Five Minutes Of The Wrong Kind Of Distraction Can Ruin A Working Day.

I Work Continuously Within The Shadow Of Failure. For Every Novel That Makes It To My Publisher's Desk, There Are At Least Five Or Six That Died On The Way. And Even With The Ones I Do Finish, I Think Of All The Ways They Might Have Been Better.

Something's Your Vocation If It Keeps Making More Of You.

The Characters That I Create Are Parts Of Myself And I Send Them On Little Missions To Find Out What I Don’t Know Yet.
