C. Stuart Hardwick
Nice notes from my readers! I've had messages comparing my writing to Heinlein, Bradbury, and Ursula K Le Guin, and I've had messages thanking me or saying how a particular story touched a reader's life--and I've had messages from young people, inspired by my writing and just writing to say so or to ask for advice. Those are absolutely the best.
The second best thing is the community. I've signed books with Larry Niven, eaten pizza with Robert J Sawyer, and closed out the bar with Mike Resnik, Erik Flint, Kevin J Anderson, and Todd McCaffrey, just to name a few. I've had dinner with Nancy Kress and George R. R. Martin! And a few weeks ago, I had drinks with my friend, Bill Ledbetter and then watched him win the Nebula! None of this is to brag, but to point out that all of these people are as nice, open, and supporting as any friends or mentors I've had or could imagine.
