	Raven's Reviews: Robert Heinlein
		Robert Heinlein was one of the greatest hard SciFi writers of this century, ranging from young adult adventures to fantastical sagas to racy adult fiction that pushed the envelope of what was acceptable during his time.
		Perhaps Heinlein was trying to shake us up as much as the characters were being shaken up, to put us off our guard so we would see more clearly from their points of view.
		Heinlein's two favorite themes (women and manliness) come together to make a couple of good philosophical points and perhaps some great action for those who like that sort of thing, but overall the design of the book lacks discipline or originality.

	Rite of Passage and Robert Heinlein, 3
		From the outset, I had been picking up Heinlein's stories as I managed to find them, or as they were rewritten by Heinlein to appear as books, or as they were gathered and republished in collections.
		However, while there was in Heinlein a metaphysician who was concerned with our relation to the nature of being, and also a teacher, an instructor of Wellsian Samurai setting forth long term goals and indicating deep responsibilities, there were other people in him, as well.
		What is more, the story would suggest to me that what's fueling the conflict between man and alien isn't just the implacable hostility of the Bugs, but also human beliefs and behavior.

	Making Robert Heinlein Money (Whatever)
		As far as short story financials, as a member of the massive 'aspiring writer' club; I was surprised that the pay was that good, as I was under the impression that you were rarely paid for short story publications.
		Also, although short story writing takes significant skill, I am not sure that it is as large of a working project as a book might be and therefore may not belong in the same pay scale.
		It implies that screen writing and story boarding are on the same wave-length as short story writing in contrast to SF novels as a form of literature/entertainment.
