I went to the Lois McMaster Bujold reading/signing the other night[1], and one of the questions that came up was about the process of writing. She referenced Roger Zelazny as saying "Trust your demon" (where "demon" is understood in the ancient Greek sense of your own internal voice or creative genius, and should perhaps be spelled "daimon"). Anyway, she added that Steve Brust had added a codicil: Zelazny - Trust your demon. Brust - Trust your demon, don't trust mine. Words to keep in mind when reading anything he writes. [1] A tale of the German-Central European analog to Chalion, about a sleepwalker who dreams of a memory of wolf sacrifices.
