Carlos Ors bravo asked Fred Van Lente:

What do you do when you find someone's told a story you want to tell? Do you tell it no matter what and hope to do well enough? Do you recycle it for later use? Do you write it only for your own sake?

Fred Van Lente Write selfishly. Write for yourself. No one cares if you write but you. Make something beautiful based on how you define the beautiful. Everything in your life, from your own experiences to stuff you read secondhand, is nothing more than grist for this mill. The challenge comes in honing your skill to the point where you can understand the difference between the good and the better. We will all spend the rest of our lives honing this skill.
