Speculative fiction: the next generation

John Joseph Adams has just posted an article that first ran in the Novel and Short Story market guide with features comments by me as well as Tim Pratt, Cherie Priest, Liz Gorinsky and David Barr Kirtley:

Crystal Rain author Tobias S. Buckell says that his success came as a result of focus and goal setting, with lots of hard work and passion for writing. “I’ve seriously wanted to be a writer since I was 15, and certainly thought writing was interesting since even younger,” he says. “I have a quote on my desk by H. Jackson Brown that says ‘Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.’ I try to remember that when I complain about not having enough time to work on the things I want to achieve in life.”
