Have fun! Which you will no doubt have. Thanks for the Ken Rand book recommendation. The 10% solution is something Stephen King talks about in his On Writing book too.

Re: Moon's SUPER SECRET Bonus Challenge! Vol. 36
Thanks for all these great tips Wulf. Wondering if you could answer this question. And I apologize in advance if you planned this as an upcoming topic.

Re: Moon's SUPER SECRET Bonus Challenge! Vol. 36

Harlan Ellison is one of the few short story writers I'm aware of who made a go of it besides Bradbury.
