I thought this an interesting link from a 1973 interview Zelazny gave on writing. The only drawback in the winamp installation it takes to play them.

He had a modest view of himself. Interesting, sound, reasonable, writing advice. Of course, he shows there are many ways to approach an aspect of writing and its business. But he too, developed a character based approach, and after 30 pages, the story moved on its own momentum, usually causing him to ditch whatever outline he did, if he did one.

It would be NICE if there were a simple transcript of this interview somewhere. At times there is nothing that beats the printed word.

All the links you need are at the bottom of that webpage. Winamp has a free version if that's the problem. Just look for it on www.winamp.com

winamp isn't the problem, loading more software into this bloated, spastic excuse for an OS is.

I take it you're reffering to Windows?
