Writing

If the only way to become proficient at something is to practice, then I need to practice the art of writing. To that end, it's time to practice. While some writers might be born, I think most writers have spent a lot of time honing their craft.

I recently bought Moonwar by Ben Bova. I remember reading his Exile Trilogy when I was in elementary school and decided to take a chance on something newer. I didn't know if his newer works would meet the expectations my memories had of his older work. Memories are tricky things. We remember the good times better than they were and we have a tendency to suppress the bad times. Anyway, Ben Bova's new works are as good as I remember his old work. I literally couldn't put down the book and finished it in only a few days.
