Quote #427
"I always write them as well as I can. But sometimes I just don't have the
sacred fire to enflame my talent into, you know, a level of genius and what
I wind up is some turkey like _Zap Gun_ ... the first half is totally
unreadable, I don't know where or what ... I can hardly reconstruct the
thinking that underlay the first half of that book. Just totally
unintelligible".
