Howard, the writer who was most famous for creating &#8220;Conan the Barbarian&#8221;? Besides that fact, I mean? Well, Brian has put out a series of minis featuring quotes from the man, so it&#8217;s easy enough to get to know him a little better. Or at least this one has a long quote from R.E.H., so I&#8217;m assuming that the issues I missed also have those quotes. Anyway, this time around the quote revolves around Robert talking about getting fan mail, and how he&#8217;d prefer to be a manual laborer who does back-breaking work all day to writing. Writing never came easy to him, and that combined with a complete unawareness of how writing worked to the people Robert interacted with had a tendency to make him a little crazy. I particularly enjoyed his comparing writing to boxing, but I won&#8217;t spoil why that was such an apt comparison. It&#8217;s a fascinating little peek into the mind of somebody who, I confess, I&#8217;ve never thought all that much about.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/reh52.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-22734\" alt=\"reh52\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/reh52-266x300.jpg\" width=\"266\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/reh52-266x300.jpg 266w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/reh52-221x250.jpg 221w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/reh52-155x175.jpg 155w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/reh52-33x38.jpg 33w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/reh52-190x215.jpg 190w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/reh52.jpg 369w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website R.E.H. #5 Anybody out there know much about Robert E.
