I got to meet him at the same convention where I first met Sergio, and he volunteered to critique a story of mine. Looking back now, it was an absolutely horrible pile of moldy cheesdip, but Jim Shooter gave me some of the very first words of encouragement I ever got as a writer.

Never trust a writer who claims he doesn't have trunk stories.
