Quote

I was brought up to try to see what was wrong and right it. Since I am a writer, writing is how I right it.

It is not that you do wrong by design, but that you should never do right by mistake.

The way I usually put it is that as an SF writer, I'm never required to be right.

I had to create an equivalent for what I felt about what I was looking at - not copy it.

Bernard Shaw said that when you copy yourself, you know you've got style. And I feel that if you can write like you write, then you are true to yourself. And it's not an easy thing to do - it's a disgustingly difficult thing to do.

I write the way I write.

There are two kinds of editors, those who correct your copy and those who say it's wonderful.

The correctness and quality of what you write do not matter; the act of writing does.

I still write the same way and have the same perspective.

Resist the need to be 'right' all the time or to always have the last word.
