I asked Maynard to write some
original content for the Earle Wheels Website, and he readily agreed. He wrote
a nice piece, much in the vein of columns he has been writing for decades. Any
of his regular outlets would have run it without changing a word.
But I am picky, and wanted to
coax more out of him. We exchanged a series of emails back and forth, with me
suggesting changes and him making some of them. He got closer to what I had in
mind, but wasn't there yet. He wrote me saying he had thought of a different
approach, and was going to start fresh. I responded with this: How would you feel about a dialog? You
write 100 words or so, I respond to it in 100 words or so, and through the
exchanges, build the article I want to write, but cannot write alone.
"That's a super
idea," he responded.
The first installment of that conversation is now spread across five pages of www.earlewheels.com. Please read it and comment.
