I rewrote a letter for a friend yesterday. Sort of a business letter. Less than 400 words.
She wrote the letter out in hand to begin with and I was to copy it on the PC so it could be printed. I was also supposed to clean it up a little bit but not get too fancy.
I didn't change anything at all in the first couple of sentences and thought I might get through the whole thing like that but my instincts took over and I rewrote as I went along.
When I was done I still thought it was pretty awful and if it was mine I would have started over.
I handed the copy to my friend for corrections and I got approval instead. She thought it was great.
Hmmm.
Sort of speaks to the popularity of some writers.
This is not about the Eric Hoffer book but he still might turn up from time to time.
