Bradbury Interviews
Ray Bradbury seems like an interesting guy. He sort of inspired me in one of his interviews. I know we have all heard this multiple times but, "do what you love, and love what you do." I don't know why it seemed to make perfect sense when he said it, but it did. He truly loves writing and it seems more of a hobby to him then a profession. Bradbury is very intelligent. He wrote Fahrenheit 451 in 18 days. That is very impressive. Let alone to write it in a library at UCLA. I would have never thought to work at a college or even work around a bunch of college kids. He was brave in that sense. Bradbury also talked about how his characters talk to him and tell him their stories. I like that concept and it is a nice way to think of characters, like they are really people. I don't think I could write a fiction story because I can't make up many characters and backgrounds for all of them. I'm just super impressed with Bradbury.

I too thought Bradburry was inspiring. Very.
ReplyDeleteFor someone to write a book in 18 days, in a college is really impressive and brave like you said and I completely agree. Good blog :))
Megan, I also agree with you on how you said that Bradybury is a very inspiring character. I also liked when you said he really loved what he did, and I think it really shined through in his writing. You have very well written blogs!

Short and sweet. I think you summed up Bradbury quite well. I also am amazed that one man can do so much. We have a lot of life to live but we also have a lot to live up to. lol

Passion is fuel for greatness. Do you think Bradbury is brilliant because he writes, or does he write because he is brilliant? And does passion make him brilliant? Food for thought...
