Daniel G. Miller I would go to the heaven described in What Dreams May Come. A place that takes the form of your imagination. I've always felt that the hardest thing about being human is the gap between hopes and dreams and reality.

Daniel G. Miller I have never had writer's block, but I think that comes back to writing stories I love. I actually have the opposite problem. I'm in such a hurry to propel the story forward that I sometimes overlook that nugget of detail that gives richness to the reader.

Daniel G. Miller I am currently working on the follow-up to The Tree of Knowledge. The working title is The Tree of Power. I cannot wait for this one! Now we're out of the starting blocks and can really run.
Daniel G. Miller This sounds like a cop out, but I'm inspired to write every day. I truly believe in the saying "write the book you want to read" because it makes the process of writing so incredibly fun. For me, it's like going to a movie and loving the first fifteen minutes and then the Director says "well, where do you think this should go," and you actually get to take it where you want. What an honor.
Daniel G. Miller In my earlier life, I was a management consultant. When we needed to solve difficult problems we would often use decision trees to make sure we were thinking about problems perfectly logically. One day it hit me..."what if someone could bring perfect logic to every situation instantaneously, and use it to predict the future?" The rest is history.
