Thanks, Jarrod! I’m glad you stopped by, and I’m glad that both Ed and I have written books that you’ve enjoyed. I hope you come back!

Hi Robert,

I just wanted to drop you a line to say great series! Both yourself and Ed Greenwood have introduced me to great worlds (Magic via the Invasion Cycle and Realms via Spellfire, respectively), and it is neat to see that you both have worked together.

I’m a new visitor to your site, and look forward to seeing further articles.

Thanks again for the interesting series,
Jarrod

Great advice, Ed! And you’re definitely someone I want Oscar to look up to as an example of a good man, a remarkable friend, and a well-lived life.

Steven

PS: Rob, you’re on that short list too for the same reasons.

PPS: Have I mentioned how blessed I feel to have such wonderful colleagues and friends dear to me and mine?

It did. Thank you. And, another excellent piece.

But, please don’t let this kind of truth get out. Stuff like, “Writers write. Only a few of them put on funny jackets and stick pipes in their mouths and give lots of interviews—or lectures, for that matter.” really needs to be kept under wraps. That comes dangerously close to demythologizing and that should be reserved for the Bible.

And, there ya go. Ya gave away the secret to getting published and no one even asked.
“Get your backside on a chair and your fingers on a keyboard and write. ”

You guys deserve a much wider audience.

Ed interviewing you would is an excellent idea.

The list of questions, I’m guessing, would spare you from the every present, ” where do you get your ideas?” I mean clearly you get your ideas from the Forgotten Realms. Most writers do regardless of the name they give it. Forgive the sarcasm. But, how many times can we discuss the muse? Ya know. Oh, and one more. The secret of getting published. You may not have to answer that one. I need to stop this.

I look forward to your next installment. And, of course you have hooked me. Merlin is on order. LOL

Gosh, Curtis, thanks! We’re glad you’re enjoying the read.

Yes, Ed and I will have to work out some more chances to collaborate in the future. Next time, maybe he’ll interview me!

I wonder if Mario and Frogger are still around? My kids played with those. I attempted. But, I was no match for youth and dexterity. Still fun.

Truly, you guys need to think about Ed doing more of these beyond the stated twelve.

And, you might try a dialogue style. Kind of a, “I think this about fiction characters” and ” Well, yes but. Or, I agree and we could add this.” A couple of paragraphs each and your done for a blog entry.

This would work for you because neither of you waist words. You communicate out of distilled thought, which is very enjoyable to read.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
