RE: Making It Up Off The Top Of My Head; Or, How I Learned To Go Off-Script And One-Up My Muse - Part I

Well, I think I have another hero I didn't previously know about. My personal writing hero is Walter B. Gibson, creator of The Shadow. The guy would write so much, he actually had to be hospitalized at one point because his finger bones were fracturing under the stress of all the typing he was doing. We should all be so driven. I'll have to look into Enid Blyton's books. I have no idea how I missed them as a kid.

They're very good, but only if you happen to like sunny, cheerful stories about British schoolchildren where everything somehow turns out alright in the end despite all the odds. I've heard of The Shadow, and personally think the radio show is awesome - and Gibson's level of dedication is astounding, too. Thanks for stopping by!
