Sheffield Discusses "Georgia On My Mind":

This quote from Charles Sheffield on the writing of "Georgia On My Mind" appears in his collection Dancing With Myself, in the afterword to his story "A Braver Thing":

"One other thing ought to be said about this story. There is a big lump of autobiography here. In it, however elliptically, I approached for the first time the 1977 death of my first wife, Sarah. It was almost certainly her final illness that led me to write fiction at all, after never having considered that before as even a remote possibility. But I could not write about Sarah for another eleven years. And I could not write directly about her for three more years, until last winter the story "Georgia On My Mind" appeared on my computer almost without my knowing it." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tom Dean (talk • contribs) 14:28, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
