I Have Memories - But Only A

Notice How Every Science Fiction Movie Or Television Show Starts With A Shot Of The Location Where The Story Is About To Occur. Movies That Take Place In Outer Space Always Start With A Shot Of Stars And A Starship. Movies That Take Place On Another World Always Start With A Shot Of That Planet. This Is To Let You Know Where You Are. Novels And Stories Start The Same Way. You Have To Give The Reader A Sense Of Where He Is And What's Happening As Quickly As Possible. You Don't Want To Start The Story By Confusing The Reader.

What I Wish Is That People Would Look Beyond The Tribbles And See I've Written Some Other Books That I Really Would Like People To Notice. There's The Man Who Folded Himself, There's The Martian Child, Which Is About My Son And The Adoption. There's The War Against The Chtorr, Which Is My Magnum Opus, My Great Epic Story.

I'm Frustrated With Hollywood And Television And The Movies Because They See Science Fiction As An Excuse For Eye Candy, For Lots Of Great Special Effects.
