WRITING

Out of date.  Now replaced by:  WRITING




You aspiring science fiction writers want some advice? 
Start out writing "short stories", with occasional
"novellettes".  Magazine editors are desperate for short
stuff they can pad the table of contents with.  Once you've
attracted some editor's attention, write a few "novellas".
If you can get them published, they're much more likely to
win an award, because so few of them are actually written.
(You want to know how to win a Hugo?  Go to the World Cons
and hold parties with lots of free beer.  This is not a joke.)
After that you're an "award winning" author, and it's time
to think about agents & novels and all that.  If you're
really smart, you've written a series of "novellas" that can
be stuck together into a book.
