The most interesting career advice I've gotten lately
Saturday morning, on the way to SwampCon Rising, I stopped at a gas station/convenience store. I got to talking with the proprietor (a Pakistani immigrant, I believe) and ended up telling him I write fantasy fiction.
He then told me that I ever want to hit the big time, I should go live in a cave. That way I would experience what my characters do (he's apparently under the impression that most fantasy characters either live in caves or at least spend a lot of time in them), and my stories would benefit from the added realism I could bring to them.
So, does anybody know of a rental? I'll need electricity and WiFi. I'd also prefer a cave that's not infested with those pesky man-eating troglodytes that Robert E. Howard wrote about and that feature so prominently in THE DESCENT.
