Boron - Chapter 17

Let me tell you a little tale about a man I very much
respect who was not above doing this sort of thing. He
wanted to become a great writer (he was!) and so what he did
was take great books and copy them (in a sense he was
actually writing them) in his own handwriting just as I am
instructing you to do. He did this for a long time. Now here
is something else he took the trouble to do: Since one of
the books he wanted to write involved what it was like to
cross the ocean under horrible conditions, what he did was
travel the ocean himself in the bowels of rusty old
freighters.

Well, naturally, before he was finished he had an internal
deep rooted “cellular” knowledge of the process of writing a
good book and he also knew what it was like to travel the
ocean in misery.

Did all of this pay off? You bet is did. This man’s name is
Arthur Haley and his book “Roots” is one of the best sellers
of all time.

End of sermon. Do it. Here is a short list of “killer”
promotions to get you started.

will keep you busy for a couple of months.

Now, here are a few other tips on how to write good copy or
, as a matter of fact, “good anything”. Use simple common
everyday words. Use “get” instead of “procure.” Write short
sentences and short paragraphs. Use “transition” words and
phrases to make your writing flow smoothly. Do you notice
how I use transition words and phrases such as the
following?
