The Writing Process/Communication

"People on the outside think there's something magical about writing, that you go up in the attic at midnight and cast the bones and come down in the morning with a story, but it isn't like that. You sit in back of the typewriter and you work, and that's all there is to it."

Harlan Ellison, author of novels, novellas, screen-plays, and non-fiction such as A Boy and His Dog; The Glass Teat; I, Robot; and Love Ain't Nothing But Sex Misspelled.
