a leading science fiction writer once said

i absolutely  love this paragraph out of the forward to John Wyndham's book,  The seeds of time.  For any designer / creative or  writer  who has ever knocked on  thousands of doors to gain attention for ones work.  John Wyndham to my mind is an incredibly talented story teller and a truly imaginative writer extraordinaire.  His ability to put one into the future is matchless.

i particularly  love how aptly he explains the creatives originality plight. And how succinctly he dismisses those who speak for all.

That conviction that sustains ............... , wow. These artistic charlatan police of all things minutely creative try control the narrative. When they not even qualified to change their own socks, let alone hold back the tide.
