Rudy RuckerMy writer friend Terry Bisson has a saying: Writing a story is like working in an auto body shop and repairing a car. You're done in less than a week. Writing a novel is like being a farmer. You're out in the field for a couple of years. Day after day. All kinds of weather. Wondering if it's gonna grow. #writing #novels #stories #Bisson #Rudy
Angus McIntyre@rudytheelder And the whole time you're gripped by a vague fear that you might be in the wrong field, that you might not actually know the first thing about farming, and that your best option might actually be to take a flamethrower to all of your cows and start over.
Cliff Hensley@rudytheelder I just want to say alongside Neuromancer your book The Hacker and the Ants is my favorite cyberpunk novel. Thanks for farming that one! 🙏
