When one person makes an accusation, check to be sure he himself is not the guilty one. Sometimes it is those whose case is weak who make the most clamour

We are all creatures of our ancestry! There is no right and wrong, objectively.

That most dangerous of opponents: the one who took pains to comprehend the position of his adversary.

All things make sense; you just have to fathom how they make sense.

We are all creatures of our ancestry! There is no right and wrong, objectively.

As for collaboration - I have done a lot, 26 books, and found publishers increasingly resistive to them. It's not that the books are bad; editors won't even read them.

At present I answer about 100 letters a month, and read 300 emails.

At the time I wrote Xone I had never been on the Internet.

But I don't read or listen for pleasure. I have too much else to do.

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.

Have a working spouse, because you won't earn a living from writing - not at first, if ever. My wife worked for years to support us.

I did not know at first that it would be a series; I discovered after the first novel that I had more to say about it, so I did another. And another, and then the readers demanded yet more.

When one person makes an accusation, check to be sure he himself is not the guilty one. Sometimes it is those whose case is weak who make the most clamour.

I turned my home state of Florida into the Land of Xanth.

If every editor turns you down, maybe you should take a second look at your text, however, just in case.

It would be easier to write a novel without reader input, but I feel the fiction is richer for it.

One reason I don't suffer Writer's Block is that I don't wait on the muse, I summon it at need.

What I like least is dealing with publishers who simply don't want collaborations regardless of their merit.

When I started writing this, I found that I simply couldn't take fantasy seriously, so it became humorous, and continued from there.

I never do a full outline, and if I did, I would not feel bound to it, because the view from inside a scene can be different from the view outside it. But neither do I just start writing and see what happens; I am far more disciplined than that.
