Because...
Reviewer the old rang
July 18, 2010
Because I have a daughter, wanting to be a writer, I sent this page to her.
Because the lecture contained humor, wit, wisdom, insight, a wonderful review of some of his life, and the humanity of humans, much of which is gone, today.
Because he speaks open, up front, and with a minimum of non-real self importance...
Because of these, I laughed, smiled, even cried during this wonderful lecture.
Because, I have been reading Science Fiction for going on 60 years...
Because I know of, most of the names and people he mentions...
And, because I know most of the books involved in the writings...
I Felt memories of my own, and smiles of my own...
And, Because of these, I see nothing wrong, in a freely given lecture, by a man, of much life and living behind him...
To jbarnes... grow up... This was not given to kindergarten 001... This was given to a group of people trying to become writers.... not nanny state bumpkins (Which too many writers today, are... they call them journalists...)
