"Hard times are coming, when we’ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We’ll need writers who can remember freedom – poets, visionaries – realists of a larger reality. Right now, we need writers who know the difference between production of a market commodity and the practice of an art."
--Ursula K Le Guin, National Book Awards Acceptance Speech

I'd love to write science fiction, too, but right now I'm working on my first love historical period pieces. I will keep this post in mind.
