Not such a big deal. But this Big Name in writing gave a speech about Point of View in the summer of 2006 which can be downloaded as Podcast #4 here: http://www.sff.net/odyssey/podcasts1.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; .
Check out what he says about his fan kja at this point: 7:14 He makes a joke about Point of View violation while illustrating a point to his audience that is made up of aspiring writers.
(Audience laughs, and so did I)If I walk into the presence of a brilliant writer and I’ve just heard him do a reading I could easily say to myself, you know, that that Kevin J. Anderson is better than I could ever hope to be. Unlikely, but it could happen.
I hope his feelings weren’t too hurt.
