Work Quotes
-
No publisher should ever express an opinion on the value of what he publishes. That is a matter entirely for the literary critic to decide.

I don't want to spoil the magic, but it's a very curious thing that honestly baffles me. It's the nearest we'll ever get to playing God, to suddenly produce these fully formed creatures. It is a bit odd. Other aspects you work out more - you rework sentences, you rework imagery. But not characters.
