OK, but I'm not a *professional* writer. > And I challenge anyone to find an unclear thought, an improperly > used word, or lazy grammar anywhere in your writings. Well, thank you again. Just don't challenge *me* to find these infelicities in my writing, because I could easily do so! > One can have flow of consciousness writing as Louis has but when > the above mentioned qualities are applied, I believe it makes the > flow-of-consciousness better...and easier on the reader. Maybe, but the way to do it would be to write freely in expressing his thought, then when he's done go back over it to see if he can polish it. If he's trying to edit himself *as he's writing*, he's likely to lose touch with the source of the flow and cramp the spontaneity. And he may not have the time to spend on second drafts. I'd rather read more of what he has to say--which is obviously rather a lot--than less, even if it's better crafted.
