I don’t want to imagine it. I’m having trouble writing it. I think deep down, I avoid conflict to the point I don’t believe it exists. Conflict makes for a good tale. Seems obvious doesn’t it? Creating obstacles for your protagonist to overcome is the meat and potatoes of the story. Take. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

I tell myself t...

Heinlein, I was hooked on the stars. Sometimes when someone asks me what I want to write and I say science fiction, I get responses like, Oh, like Spock and space travel? In 1966 did you ever thi...
