Bwa ha ha I met him and talked intensely with him and his wife years and years ago, but I doubt he'd remember me. Still, what he said, his enthusiasm for writing and the belief that others can conquer it too, has stayed with me. And now i am actually utilizing it. He has a livejournal here where several years ago he laid out how he writes and I have pulled those off (along with a friend of mine) and we're going to give his method a go.
