Robert Heinlein writes to Theodore Sturgeon

Posted on 5:48 AM by Unknown
One great science fiction writer writing to another, and offering story ideas no less. Well worth reading.

Sturgeon is, of course, the originator of Sturgeon's Law, which locals will have heard me quote, probably more than once: "95 percent of everything is crap".
