Of course that advise wasn't at all what i spected. But then I remembered that TNOTW wasnt what i spected to, it was much more, i say this in the form that i spected, well not that encouraging shit, but something else, cus i do really, would want advise for my writings, even though it helped
the book was awesome(no i've read it since it reached my country june 09 Mexico) and obviously im waiting for the 2nd one
but i just googled a little about it and i want to know, are one of those the real cover pics??

I believe Harry Harrison moved to Mexico when he was first starting with writing.

Plus I think that was during his pulp writing stage, back when pulp writers were paid (very little) by the word.

'Have any of you been to jail for a while and know if it would be possible to write there?'

The only people I can call to mind of the top of my head who wrote in gaol are a) the Marquis De Sade and b) Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf). This rather suggests that while it is possible, the end result suffers somewhat.

On the other hand it is also said 'when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.'(Dr. Johnson). So we could get a Book 2 much sooner – were the interment on Death Row – but it would probably be somewhat different from what we expected…
