There are two ways of getting words written. The first is to consider carefully what you really mean and what you really need to say as concisely as possible. The second way is to let it all tumble out, complete with repetition, redundancies, errors, and verbosity. Not necessarily pretty, but moving forward.
The former approach is much more prone to writer's block. The second way needs a lot of editing but at least keeps things moving and provides a framework for refinement.

A fascinating story. I found the background on the Nazi Grail hunter Otto Rahn particularly interesting. I read somewhere that you interviewed someone who had actually met Rahn. If that's true can you tell us a bit about that? (Also, is it true that he was the inspiration for Indiana Jones?)
