“I surround myself with fantastical things because it makes it a little...” — Seanan McGuire Quote

I surround myself with fantastical things because it makes it a little easier to write fantastical stories.

The first thing that matters: I am a child of the eighties. I grew up in a neon wonderland of talking horses, compassionate bears, hair that didn't move in a stiff wind, and the constant threat of nuclear war.

When I was first writing 'Feed' - which was the first book I published as Mira - I talked about it very openly on my blog, on Twitter, that I was writing this book, and it wasn't until after it was sold that I said 'Mira Grant' wrote this book. And the reason there was really purely marketing-based.

Indexing' is a police procedural about protecting the world from memetic incursions - which is to say, fairy tales.

I pay a lot of attention to the people I let surround me. I learn something from those people and from everyone - from other musicians, from people on the street.

Surround yourself with people you like and respect; surround yourself with people you just want to be around and keep making things.

Surround yourself with people who allow you the time to really discover what kind of a musician you truly are.

The family and friends and the people I surround myself allow me to keep my feet firmly on the floor and not get too big-headed.

When you're the best, you only want to surround yourself with the best.
