Somehow, for all my outward pretence of cold-eyed professionalism,
all my insistence that writing is simply a job like any other, I've
discovered to my surprise and chagrin that there's more than that
going on around here, that I write as much out of karmic necessity
and some inescapable inner need to rededicate my own skills
constantly to my-what? My craft? My art? My profession? I wrote
these stories because the only way of earning a living I have ever
had has been by writing, but mainly, I have to admit, I wrote these
stories because I couldn't not write them. Well, so be it. They
involved me in a lot of hard work, but for me, at least, the
results justify the toil. I'm glad I wrote them. Writing them, it
turns out, was important for me, and even pleasurable, in a
curiously complex after-the-fact kind of way. May they give you
pleasure now too. -Robert Silverberg, from his Introduction
