We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Know Your Subject However, I do not think it is necessary for a beginner to travel in search of new ideas. Some very excellent stories are written every year by writers who have not wandered far from their own back-yard. One critic declared, after seeing "The New Moon" that it was evident I had gleaned my knowledge of Russia from weekly periodicals and newspapers. I took the trouble to inform that critic that I had had the pleasure of rep- resenting a chain of American newspapers abroad, and had traveled the length and breadth of Russia, and would vouch for the accuracy of the detail in my story. So, you see, even though we have had the necessary experience, and have written a story using a background which is familiar to us, we don't always get the credit for our effort. There are more stories, with foreign atmo- sphere, written for the screen than there are books, plays and novels, and the professional moving picture critic should spend some time abroad so that he will be able to intelligently criticise stories with foreign backgrounds. 65
