"Those women and men who write novels and short stories of fantasy - of whatever variety - take great pride in it, and so may you. We may feel especially proud that, for us, storytelling remains as significant as it was for any writer who preceded us. ... Although most ideas can be reshaped or modified to fit our individual, central truths, we have found writing to be the best education and culture-molding method available to humankind and our principle aspirations and concerns, hopes and dreads, sing from the core of all that we write just as affectingly and as effectively as any writers currently at work." (p. 26-27)
(from the essay "Plotting as Your Power Source" by J.N. Williamson)
