Emshwiller Interview

I found this great interview where Carol Emshwiller addresses many of the questions we were discussing in class. I know that quite a few people had a problem with the lack of technical background information about how the Hoots invaded the humans. In the interview she discusses how she develops her plots. For her, it's easiest to start with an idea she likes and write all she can about it to start with. Only then, does she attempt to develop the technicalities of the setting. She discusses this about 3/4 of the way down the first page for anyone interested.
