David is another incredibly nice person. We had a good chat, wherein I mentioned that "Trouble with Tribbles" was my favorite episode of Trek. He was trying to bring one of his novels to TV as a series, and at the time it was looking good, but ultimately nothing happened.

That brief conversation led to him writing a book for WDB called Worlds of Wonder: How To Write Science Fiction and Fantasy many years later. It was one of the last books I edited before leaving the company, and it remains possibly the best book on writing SF ever published -- by WDB or anyone else.

All of which is to say that I (A) miss the hell out of that job, which was the best job I ever had, and (B) will be buying this book for David's essay alone -- although Jewel's should be interesting, too.

Well, he was always nice to me, but only because I gave him whatever he wanted. He reduced one of my copyeditors to tears though, and she was a sweet girl.

Oh, is that what the title is? *laughs*

I, too, will have an essay in that book, BTW, and it's naturally coming out 'round the same time as the release of the BDM and the BDNOTBDM (Big Damn Novelization of the Big Damn Movie ).
