Work tends to lose voice when you go over and over it :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17561135148268693157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426830455075676436.post-25003404584960258872013-04-04T00:28:59.581-04:002013-04-04T00:28:59.581-04:00Love Heinlein!

With a typewriter I would even dream of trying to write my eBook.

He had some interesting ideas--but honestly, he could have used a bit of editing, some polish. Maybe more than "some."<br /><br />It's fun, and possibly useful, to have heroes--but no reason to let it drag you off course. Butt in chair is the best overall piece of advice for writers. Unless you've found a way to write while on an Exercycle. <br /><br />Nice place you have here. Glad to meet you.S. J.

I have always dreamed of becoming an author like him, at least in the vein of his Young Adult fiction. For inspiration, I read his book published after his death called "Grumbles From The Grave". It is not short stories at all, but just letters he wrote and received throughout his career. I am not sure why, but it gives me great confidence and enthusiasm to write reading through his old correspondence.Troy Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01418384525838529899noreply@blogger.com
