RBE 7 Question Mini-interview
- What drives your art? What forces you, rides you, hustles you, controls you until its latest needs have been met? What really drives you to create speculative fiction art, be it words or images?
- If there was the possibility of becoming any speculative fiction character ever created (except your own), would you? Who? Why?
- If you could take all the works of one to three authors and/or artists compressed on an e-book reader on a “one-bag-only” one-way trip to another galaxy, whose works would it be and why?
- Why ______________ (insert the name of your protagonist/artwork from your story in [RBE publication])? What initiated his/her/its story and made you complete this particular work of art?
- In the privacy of your favorite writing nook, do you act out your protagonist’s actions? Do you know how to use his/her weapons? Do you wear his/her clothes? Do you talk like him/her?
- Quick: List your first thought as your answers to these questions about the future of genre fiction:
- Printing Methods: Offset or Print-on-Demand?
- Reading/Viewing Formats: Electronic or Print?
- Book Tours: Physical or Virtual?
- Reading Habits: Dead, Dying, Alive, Growing?
- Length: Flash, Short, Novella, 1970′s novel (60k), 1980′s novel (80k), 1990′s novel (120k), 2000′s novel (150k)
- Robert E. Howard, Jack London, Ernest Hemingway, Edgar Allan Poe, Fritz Leiber, Karl Edward Wagner, Louis L’Amour, Frederick Faust, Ian Fleming, Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Rafael Sabatini . . . the list could go on. Some lived long lives, some flared and burned out young. All lived life hard. All wrote pulse-pounding action-adventure, often dipping into the many different genres they share, yet each eventually establishing their name within a specific one. What do you believe you have in common with these authors, and what makes you so sure speculative fiction – heroic fantasy fiction to be precise – is your genre? Or is it?
