Now I'm not saying you're not as good as Fink and Craynor (Though let's be honest here, you're probably not) what I'm saying is that they've found their own wonderfully left-of-center phraseology. Then you should resist the urge to do something similar yourself. Which is to its credit, in my opinion.)Īlso, if you're an aspiring writer, you should read this book. (And honestly, this book is much less vocabulous than Slow Regard. But because this book has an odd off-kilterness all its own that is marvelous to read.
