Today's stroke


Dear Mr. Deemer,

For years now, I have referred to your article, The Rhetoric of Action when advising writers. As an English teacher, I am delighted to see its cogent analysis of what works in an 'action sentence'; as a screenwriter, I have 'listened' to your advice when at the computer wrestling with my own projects.

(The Rhetoric of Action is available here.)

Always nice to learn that one isn't working in a vacuum, though it sure feels like it some days, and that the work is appreciated. In fact, my presence and influence on the net have become considerably greater than off the net, or so feedback suggests.
