Then and now.

Thirteen years ago, I could cheerfully write any Superguy story I wanted, asserting the most banal bullshit and getting things wrong gleefully with a toss of my head and saying (in my best Ed Wood, Jr. voice) no one's going to pay attention to the little details.

Today, I work on a super hero story and have to stop and think oh shit. I have a throwaway sentence about close up magic. Now I have to buy and read seven books -- including books by Bill Severn and Penn & Teller.

I'm not sure I've gained anything.
