When I was a young lad, one of my heroes and mentors was the mystery writer
Stanley Ellin. His method of writing was unusual--he would think out the
general structure of the story, and then write page one. He would rewrite
page one until he had it just the way he wanted it. Then, and only then,
would he move on to page two...and so on. I could never do it, but then I
could never write stories like "The Specialty of the House" or novels like
The Eighth Circle. And even monsters of productivity like Evan Hunter were in
awe of both Stan's work and his method of creating it.
