| Special ReportsImitate to Innovate: Become a power writer by copying power-word masters.Teach yourself to write like a pro! Inspiration for deconstruction struck while Lynda McDaniel was visiting the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. A text panel explained that Degas and Cassatt applied for permits to the Louvre to copy the Old Masters. “I was stunned,” she writes in Words at Work. “It had never occurred to me that it was okay to copy greatness. Wasn’t that cheating? Weren’t we taught in school never to copy? For writers, doesn’t that edge dangerously close to plagiarism? Eventually, though, I realized that deconstruction, like artists at the Louvre, was simply an exercise, not a finished product.” Learn how she taught herself to write this way (which led to a long and successful career as a professional writer). You can too! Imitate to Innovate Special Report $29.97 |
