Of Course You Don't Make Any Noise

I Wanted The Feel In These Books To Be Like An Epic Fantasy, With Kings, Queens, Dukes And Court Politics, But Of Course Like What I Was Explaining Before, About Making The Science Make Sense, You Have To Make The Politics Make Sense, Too.

I Always Had This Non-stop Drive. I Had To Keep Sending Stories Out And Every Once In Awhile I'd Get Something Accepted Or Get The Little Trickle Of Positive Feedback.

I Did Several Interesting Jobs, Working In Restaurants, I Worked At A Lab Rat Farm, Feeding And Watering All These Rats. Then I Got A Full-time Job As A Technical Writer For A Large Scientific Research Laboratory.

My Total Year's Income From Working As Hard As I Possibly Could From Writing Went From Like $30 One Year To About $70 The Next Year. And It Made Me Realize That Maybe You Couldn't Really Pay The Rent That Way.

We Each Have Our Lives... What Matters Is Not How Long Those Lives Last, But What We Do With Them.
