This seemed like the next best message.<br /><br />I go back to a lot of those old pre-1980 writers like Heinlein, Asimov, even back to Van Vogt and Sturgeon, for inspiration in that sort of writing mood. :)Rhavashttp://interstellarprivateer.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962276924342174960.post-45758441656282076562013-01-12T23:19:22.790+01:002013-01-12T23:19:22.790+01:00... and you did a great job.
