TEXAS HISTORY MINUTE
Writers are often asked where their story ideas originate. It is a question that writers sometimes have trouble answering. The final product only comes from imagination and a lot of work. One of many great Texas writers, Robert E. Howard, had a significant cultural impact in a short career and certainly put in a lot of work. His publishing career lasted only 12 years, but he produced hundreds of stories. Guided by his imagination and love for storytelling, Howard became a popular writer, whose influence was felt far beyond his short life.
