So you know where I come from, I have been a fan of Bradbury for a very long time. That said, we begin:
It was fun and insightful to be given a tour of Mr. Bradbury's thought process: the search for metaphor; write what you are passionate about; know what you write and write what you feel about it.
Many good points about learning from your (writing) heroes, but don't try to write like them as it cannot be done and be true to yourself.
Even if you cannot 'fire the friends' that laugh at you, you do not have to listen to their nonsense.
And a PS to pbarnes: one man's blasphemy is another man's exclamation point. I wouldn't use such, either. Occasionally my characters do. As do Melville's. As muxh as we would like to, we cannot (successfully) Bowdlerize life.

Why profanity?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, May 05, 2009
Reviewer: jbarnes
When I received the daily Learn Out Loud program for May 4,I was elated to see the free talk was by Ray Bradbury,a long time favorite of mine for his science-fiction achievements.
Less than one minute into his talk,Mr.Bradbury blew it by using My Lord and My God's name in vain!!!!!!!!!!
Don't you preview the talks?!
If not you should!
It's obvious you and Mr.Bradbury have no fear or respect for God!
My next question is;"why did he call upon someone he obviously does not know?!"
To be precise,"Where do you plan to spend eternity,smoking or non-smoking?"
Think about it!
Good lecture - about writing and life, April 25, 2008
Reviewer: YeeFam
Good lecture on the art of becoming a good writer - what to write and how to learn to be a writer.
All of the principles can be applied how to live a happy life - focus on what you like to do - don't imitate - work on your craft.
