" I had a sign over my typewriter 50 years ago which said, “Don’t think.” Typewriters help you write better because it all comes out. You should be passionate. All of my books are written by this interior self that wants to say something. I never get in the way. There are two mes: the Ray Bradbury who writes and the Ray Bradbury who watches. So everything has to be passionate. A typewriter helps you to … speak more quickly, more passionately, and more creatively. You mustn’t think—you mustn’t brood over things. You’ll make up something that doesn’t work. You’ll correct it. You must not correct what you do. You must throw up every morning and clean up every noon.
