When I woke I grabbed the notebook and read, in very shaky handwriting, the following story idea: Happy in the knowledge that I’d preserved a fictional treasure, I turned off the light and went back to sleep. I reached for the bedside light, the notebook, and the pencil, and I jotted the idea down. Sure enough, I soon woke with a brilliant literary idea.

Determined not to let any more masterpieces slip through my fingers, I decided to keep a dream diary. Always I promised to remember the dream in the morning, and always I failed. What little I do remember is pointless surrealism, and there’s little worse than surrealism without a point.Įarly in my writing career I sometimes would wake in the middle of the night from a dream I was sure would make a good story. I don’t remember most of my dreams, for one thing. It has to be admitted that I suck at dreams.

Williams, what is it that you want to admit? To get the ball rolling, Williams is here to admit something to you (aside from the composition of UFOs, that is). Honestly, if you don’t come out of this enlightened in one way or another, you’re just not trying hard enough. And you will also find out what, if anything, this discovery has to do with Implied Spaces. Not only does famed author Walter Jon Williams explain the whys and wherefores of his big new novel Implied Spaces to you, but he also finally explains what UFOs are made of! You will be shocked and surprised, as I was.
