I had to write about realistic circumstances. That's the way my brain works. And I think that gave me a sort of place in the field.		102
I could never write about strange kingdoms. I could never do 'Harry Potter' or anything like that. Even when I did science-fiction, I didn't write about foreign planets and distant futures. I certainly never did fantasies about trolls living under bridges.		103
