Okay, so part of Lexman's job is to keep things interesting, and he really came through in this interview with prolific science-fiction writer Michael Saylor. There was plenty of banter and laughter, but also some great discussion on some of the issues faced by writers who publish in magazines and periodicals. Whether it's dealing with rejection or the vagaries of critical taste, Lexman posed some interesting questions and got an interesting, thoughtfulresponse from Saylor. I definitely recommend checking out this episode if you're a fan of science fiction or writing in general.
