Edmund Schubert, editor of IGMS, has posted a little essay of mine about the writing of “The Robot Sorcerer.”

I’m glad that Edmund posts these essays by the story authors.  One of the reasons I loved reading Isaac Asimov’s short story collection The Early Asimov was because he interspersed the stories with autobiographical information, including how he came to write certain stories. I’m always interested in how writers come up with stories, and I flatter myself that others are interested in how I come up with mine.
