But I Don't Read Or Listen For

Keep Writing, Because Not Only Does Practice Improve Skill, It Gives You More Chances To Score On The Market. I Did That For Eight Years Before Making My First Sale.

I Hope To Read A Harry Potter Novel Soon, To See What It's All About. I Admit To Being Annoyed That Many Good Light Fantasy Writers Have Had Trouble Getting Published, In England And Elsewhere, When It Is Obvious The Readers Were Waiting For Us All Along.

I Wish My Readers Took Less Of My Time - About A Third Of My Working Time Goes To Them - But I Love And Need Them All.

Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker Series Also Shows The Potential Of Lighter Fantastic Fiction. I Read The First, And Listened To A Tape Of A Later One, And It's Fun.

Be What You Are; It Is Better That Way. --dolph
