Monty by Jim Meddick for July 30, 2012
Transcript:
A pipe? Yes. Many authors find it compliments the writing progress... A soothing ritual that allows the mind to focus on the intimidatins task at hand... But you're writing a children's book! A common misconception... I would argue, if anything, youth literature requires even greater creativity and introspection than typical adult fare...

The great science fiction author Robert Heinlein wrote books for both adults and children. The advice he gave about writing for children was, “Write it just as good as you would for adults, but leave out the sex.”
