Pearls of Wisdom from Max




"I am tired of all this sash about writers writing what they know or writing what they want to know. Writers write what they need to know. Genre and setting are negotiable. Internal need is not. Writers are seekers of truth. And we will find that truth, whether we are seeking it on the planes of Mars, in ancient Egypt, on a pirate ship, or through the eyes of a ghost cat."
