Great purchases! I was unaware of his health issue.

I was introduced to Ellison from Dean Wesley Smith, as he kept referring to him as the guy who wrote in bookstore windows. Which just fascinated me. So I looked him up and saw that not only would write a short story there in the store, he would post the pages as they finished. Not only were the pages unedited, they were clean. Which completely throws out that whole, you must edit in order for it to be good idea.

He was showing that writing isn't some pie in the sky thing, it can be just like a plumber or wood worker going to work. He would argue they don't wait for inspiration, they just go to work, and writers should be the same.

I appreciate your comment.
