Saying too much versus saying too little

While I’m a full-time writer nowadays and I do my best to make my words as sweet as possible, I still prefer to avoid eating them unless absolutely necessary.

With this in mind, I often avoid making wild pronouncements, particularly with regards to Pern (future books or movies) so as not to disappoint.

As soon as I’m relatively certain (and have the words well-tenderized), I happily let people know what’s going on.

(I’m writing these words after having just answered some of the letters from fans that I found in my inbox.)

Anyway, if you ask me a question and aren’t fully satisfied with the answer I beg you to be patient — it’s usually because I don’t feel I have a sufficiently comfortable grasp on the issue to be more forthcoming.
