Well put Dave!

I discovered this technique when I read about a 12 year old who revealed this same powerful lesson in his own life. The problem is that most people sometimes fail to engage at a higher level of understanding…lacking the skills to ask observational questions as they examine their world with absolutely more CONCENTRATION. What you’re really asking us all to do is PAY CLOSER ATTENTION…LOLLL…as we do that we will SEE more than we have ever seen before. I’ll stop here…but THANKS for enlightening your audience. I just stumbled across this page in my research and took out time to read what you had to say because I wanted to make sure it was relevant…and it was! KEEP SMILING…I love you.

Lovingly loving you Deremiah *CPE

I’ve just recently started bumping into this as I try to hone my copywriting (and writing) skills, and it feels so old school, but if it works, it works. Even Gary Halbert, the great copywriter himself, said that if you could only do one thing to improve your copywriting chops, it would be to write out the best ads long-hand.

Cheers Dave!

Great post. Something similiar I’m doing because I started a blog and never had one before. I’m translating stuff to learn to write and better learn the stuff I find useful for me.

If you can get an e-version, cut and paste into word processor, double space the lines, copy five tuimes in a row, and you have an excellent training sheet to write on.

Thanks for this great idea.

When I feel my writing getting a bit stale or I can’t find the right words, I will read a book written in a very different style then my own. Ususally Dickens or a business book. That seems to exercise an unused mental muscle for me.

But I will try hand writing as you suggested. I have a notebook that I use to jot down ideas for future posts. I look forward to the results.

JMarkson’s comment made me remember that my friend hand-copied some of John Kennedy Toole’s A Confederacy of Dunces. At the time my friend was a staff writer on Comedy Central–he wanted to better understand Toole’s brilliant comedic structure.
