"Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for."
~ Ray Bradbury
Trevor Burrows"The rain continued. It was a hard rain, a perpetual rain, a sweating and steaming rain; it was a mizzle, a downpour, a fountain, a whipping at the eyes, an undertow at the ankles; it was a rain to drown all rains and the memory of rains. It came by the pound and the ton, it hacked at the jungle and cut the trees like scissors and shaved the grass and tunneled the soil and molted the bushes. It shrank men's hands into the hands of wrinkled apes; it rained a solid glassy rain, and it never stopped."

American Nightmares: The Near-Future Dystopia as Political Warning, from Bradbury to Butler to the Present - David Somerfleck | Science Fiction Author
A definitive guide to the American political dystopia — from Fahrenheit 451's burning books to Octavia Butler's eerily prescient 2024, Philip K. Dick's manufactured realities, Ursula Le Guin's anarchist ambiguity, and N.K. Jemisin's enslaved geological workers. Why these five writers share a single tradition, and what that tradition demands of the reader.
