"If
you want to write, if you want to create, you must be the most sublime
fool that God ever turned out and sent rambling. You must write every
single day of your life. You must read dreadful dumb books and glorious
books, and let them wrestle in beautiful fights inside your head, vulgar
one moment, brilliant the next. You must lurk in libraries and climb
the stacks like ladders to sniff books like
perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads. I wish you a
wrestling match with your Creative Muse that will last a lifetime. I
wish craziness and foolishness and madness upon you. May you live with
hysteria, and out of it make fine stories — science fiction or
otherwise. Which finally means, may you be in love every day for the
next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world."
