“A lot of times when I ask people what their apocalyptic fantasy life is like, they'll immediately say something like, "Oh, what I think is going to kill us is climate change or World War IV," and that's not what I'm interested in at all. The point is not about winning a bet about what's going to happen. The point is about the human action of examining the possibility, the kind of obsessive imagining about it.” PeopleThinkingWorldHumansKindWarHappensActionLife IsAsksWinningFantasyPossibilityClimateClimate ChangeWar Of The WorldsWorld War ILife Is LikeObsessiveExaminingApocalypticHuman ActionsFantasy Life Author:Lucy Corin
“I decided to make myself a little less precious with my storytelling. I think you can see from the first three pieces in the book that I have a long term relationship with the short story as a form and I really love an elegantly crafted story that has several elements that come together in a way that is emotionally complex and different from when we started. That kind of crystalline, perfect, idealized thing that the short story as a genre has come to represent.” ThinkingWayFirstsKindLittlesLongBookDifferentStoriesTogetherFormThreeTermPerfectPiecesElementsDecidedComplexesStorytellingGenreLong TermShort StoryLong Term Relationship Author:Lucy Corin
“You know how some people will say to writers, "Why don't you just write a romance novel that sells a bunch of copies and then you'll have the money to do the kind of writing you want to do"? I always say that I don't have the skills or knowledge to do that. It would be just as hard for me to do that kind of writing as it would be to learn how to do any number of productive careers that I can't manage to make myself do.” PeopleKnowsWantWritingKindI CanHardWould BeRomanceNumbersCareersNovelKnow HowSkillsSellsBunchManageProductiveCopiesRomance Novel Author:Lucy Corin
