SIDELIGHTS:

Lloyd Halliburton once told CA that he writes when "I have an idea that I wish to develop and share with others. I have been influenced by those I have enjoyed reading: particularly Ernest Hemingway, Miguel de Unamuno, Federico García Lorca, and John William Corrington.

"I begin with a pen and a tablet, writing the first draft by hand; I then revise it on paper and enter it in a computer. The third draft is a revision of the computer draft and is the final draft unless an editor has some special comments that I agree with, and I change the manuscript for what I see as an improvement.

"I am inspired to write by something that I feel needs to be told, or by topics I disagree with [when I] wish to offer what I feel is the correct version, particularly in essays when I know the writer has made a mistake."
