#ScribesAndMakers Jan 24: What's a work of science fiction that you love? What do you love about it?
So many. Most recently, Cat Valente's SPACE OPERA is brilliant. If someone wanted to understand my sensibilities as a full human being, I'd hand them that book. It's silly as hell, and sexy, and so very sincere. It proudly wears its heart on its sleeve. "This is my heart," it says. "Do you like it?"

#ScribesAndMakers Jan 26: Tell us about a memorable live music experience.
I got to see Leonard Cohen live in Vancouver a year or two before he died. The thing that was remarkable was how *quietly* he plays. Everyone in the band is audible because no one is drowning anyone out, and the audience has to be quiet, too, if they want to hear it. It was the best mix I might have ever heard. I asked my dad, a professional live sound man, and he said Cohen is notorious for it.
#ScribesAndMakers Jan 27: Are you good at threading needles?
Yes, in the sense that the thread goes *in* the needle. Past that...

#ScribesAndMakers Jan 29. What's the most rewarding thing about your creativity?
When I give to someone and they have a reaction. They don't have to love it, although that ROCKS. What I want is *engagement*.
