Harlan Ellison on Fearlessness in Imagination

3/30/2016

Picture
Despite the fact that I wrote for Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Harlan Ellison wrote for the original series, and I indeed met the man, I was little more than a passing shadow in his life. In actuality my ST:NG credit was on my distant horizon at the time or our meeting, and Ellison’s many sci-fi credits were part of his gloried and well-established legendary mythos.

Though while I doubt he’d ever recall meeting me, I readily admit, he made a lasting impression on me. “I don’t have time for this preppy,” were his words at the time, as I was introduced to him by a mutual friend at the Writer’s Guild Conference at Lake Arrowhead. Indeed, I think I was wearing a forest green La Coste polo shirt and chinos at the time, so guilty as charged, and a first impression had been made for him that told him all he felt he needed to know about me. I didn’t take it personally. I was told ahead of time, that Mr. Ellison was known for brash actions and talk, and I think the fiery spirit behind that is something worthy of observing and appreciating.
