More quotes by Piers Anthony
SF is the literature of the theoretically possible, and F is the literature of the impossible.
Piers Anthony
Princess Rose should indeed be a TV movie, assuming something doesn't go wrong. I don't know how good a movie it will be, because the way movie folk think is different from the way writers think, and I distrust what isn't done my way. This is what I call a healthy paranoia.
Piers Anthony
We are all creatures of our ancestry! There is no right and wrong, objectively.
Piers Anthony
Is it foolish to care for non-existent folk?Then, leave me to my foolishness.

Terry Pratchett's right up my alley ... give him a try!

Obviously it could be, because it was.

As for collaboration - I have done a lot, 26 books, and found publishers increasingly resistive to them. It's not that the books are bad editors won't even read them.
Piers Anthony
I maintain an ongoing survey of Internet Publishing and self publishing, so that it is now possible for any writer with a book to get it published at nominal cost or free, and to have it on sale at booksellers like Amazon.com.

Polishing: a useful lesson for the hopeful writer. You say your tormented prose doesn't read as well as mine? Neither does mine, at first!
Piers Anthony
I never do a full outline, and if I did, I would not feel bound to it, because the view from inside a scene can be different from the view outside it. But neither do I just start writing and see what happens I am far more disciplined than that.
Piers Anthony
No novel is a clone of any preceding one, though with a background cast of characters and things that has grown to thousands, there are many familiar aspects.
Piers Anthony
One reason I don't suffer Writer's Block is that I don't wait on the muse, I summon it at need.
Piers Anthony
Adults had the notion that juveniles needed to suffer. Only when they had suffered enough to wipe out most of their naturally joyous spirits and innocence were they staid enough to be considered mature. An adult was essentially a broken-down child.
Piers Anthony
Never thought I'd see the day when Death was denied. That leaves taxes as the only certainty.
Piers Anthony
...the sweetest temptation could be that which was known to be the most foolish.
Piers Anthony
The biggest fool is the one who thinks he knows it all.
Piers Anthony
I did not know at first that it would be a series I discovered after the first novel that I had more to say about it, so I did another. And another, and then the readers demanded yet more.
