==Heinlein quote in Career section==
I don't think that a random quote from an author's blog merits inclusion in the "Career" section of a Wikipedia article. First, it's from a primary source, when Wikipedia articles should rely on secondary or tertiary sources. Second, it's not a major part of her career - it's just a comment in a blog post. If you can find a reliable source reporting on the comment as notable, that might merit inclusion, but right now it seems like a random piece of trivia. I'm sure she's commented on good restaurants in Brooklyn and her opinion on sporting events too, but they don't fit into an article about her career.

Heinlein quote in Career section
