Summary

In this quote, the individual is expressing a lack of self-identification as a science fiction writer. It implies that even though they may have been associated with or labeled as a science fiction writer by others, they don't personally align themselves with the genre. This could suggest that the person's writing style or subject matter doesn't align with the typical conventions of science fiction, or that they simply don't view their work through that lens. Ultimately, this quote reflects the author's perspective on their own writing identity and genre categorization.
