Do you consider yourself articulate or good with words?
I'm aspiring to be someone like Anne Lebowitz but haven't really reached there yet.
- You mean Fran Lebowitz? Annie Leibovitz is the photographer.
- O god OP. Seven words in and you failed.
- Sorry OP that was mean of me.
I have been told by others that I write well, but it doesn't come easy. Like Ms Parker, I sweat a postcard. It takes me a while, a lot of re-writing, a lot of tweaking before I get it to where I want it to be. If I wrote more often, I probably could do it faster and with less effort. A friend of mine who is a rather successful author told me the best way to improve your writing is to read...lots. Read everything. Fiction, non fiction, literature, ad copy, comic books, sci-fi. Everything. He singled out The New Yorker as a good source for different kinds of material.
