I have loved science fiction writing from the moment I started reading 'This Perfect Day'. My mother handed me that book one day and said I might like it. I loved it. I wanted more. Since then, I've spent quality time with Octavia Butler, Piers Anthony, Steven Barnes, Isaac Asimov and Tananarive Due. Frank Herbert was my main man. I was so dissappointed when I got to the end of Chapterhouse Dune, the last book in the series (at least written entirely by him), not because I did't like it. I just didn't want it to end. Perhaps, it is from him I learned to appreciate the value of overcoming fear.
As if we don't have enough going on, I give all of his books the thumbs up. I do of course believe you should start at the beginning of the series to get the meat, but... I digress.
I started off on subject of fear because I realized today we are all grappling with our fears in different ways. I appreciate the advice we received today and hope will take special heed to the part about sharing with your cohort.
Together, I know we can achieve great things. We have an awesome group of people with a wonderful diversity of perspectives, socioeconomic, political, thinking and communication styles, and so much more. Don't be surprised to hear me ask for your advice or point of view.
Let's all be fearless together or at least pull together to overcome our fears and burst forth like caterpillers emerging from cocoons as butterflies.
