Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
Charlie Marino My stories spring whole cloth from my background as a scientist, my life with humans, and mostly just a little ahead of current technology. I predict near-future stuff (so far), not centuries ahead or tech so advanced its magic.

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?
Charlie Marino Just write. Write every day. Write the next day.

Then edit. Edit when you complete a story beginning to end. Edit again after beta readers make their suggestions. Then let it percolate befoore publishing and read-edit it again.

PS - no one, even English majors, can get away wthout an external editor. Human or robotic, spend the time and money!

What’s the best thing about being a writer?
Charlie Marino The isolation. I've always had cave-castle mentality, and the social distractions of marraiges and workplace always drained me. Happy is the writing hermit. As Clint said, 'friends when I want, none when I don't, and none with my name hanging on them!'
