- I'm lucky in that I have net access, there are always people around to tell
- who killed the alien and who is the father of whom...:) But I find the same
- thing, that immediately before and after I write a piece of interest to me
- it's all I can think of, and other people are kind of optional.

- What advice do any of you have for someone who's switching gears? From
- writing children's books to sci-fi type novels? My publisher handles
- both, but clearly it's an entirely new mindset. Any rule anyone can give
- me to set in stone in my head? A kind of guardrail for the brain? :)

- One mroe thing. Writers. the ones that don't starve and die anyway, seem
- to be always part of one thing in society. The opinino leaders. The way
- we think, act, dress, and conceptualize the world is forming it. While
- we may hold ourselves from society, in some ways we are more intermeshed
- than ever. And often we change the ways people think,,act, and dress without
- necessarily intending to. What ethics are required to be elligible to shape
- the coming generation? Just something to slepp on tonight....
