Personally I don't like it when writers become excessively proscriptive about the way that people read their books.
From China Mieville
I love it when people want to interpret my books.
I remember vividly what it's like to read as a 10-year-old - that passionate inhabiting of a book.
I'm a science fiction and fantasy geek.
I think there's something quite interesting about the almost tragic quality of a lot of overwrought prose, because it has a much more self-conscious awareness of its own failure to touch the real.
I'd never been to a science-fiction convention until I became a professional writer.
