Politics won’t harm a writer’s career. It’s talking crap about the genre and “loving” it insufficiently that do you in.

Their enthusiasm for writing doesn’t match their enthusiasm for talking about their enthusiasm for writing.

When someone asks what your tastes are and all you do is hold up your hands and say, “Gah! Who the fuck knows?”

People that talk about “geek cred” should probably see an analyst to resolve their middle school hang-ups.

Fruit on the bottom. Hope on top.
