Ray Bradbury passes on

We lost a really inspiring author this week when Ray passed on. It wasn’t just his fiction that got me fired up – he had great advice on the creative life as can be seen in the excellent Zen in the Art of Writing.  Well worth reading and reading again. I gave my copy to one of my writing friends just a few months ago. Not because I had gotten everything I could out of the book – I’m going to have to get another copy of it soon.
