| Well, let me start off by spelling things out very | | | | Let me put it to you like this. It's like any other |
| clearly. There are two kinds of rewriting. Actually | | | | work of art. You have your material. What it |
| you rewrite either one in pretty much the same | | | | looks like when you are through with it is what |
| way but why you're doing it and the material | | | | sets it apart. The great thing is that many |
| you're rewriting makes a big difference. Let's first | | | | different artists can produce many different |
| get what's a no-no out of the way. What's wrong | | | | works of art from the same lump of content |
| is picking up someone else's hard work and | | | | clay, each wonderful in its own unique way. And |
| rewriting it so you pass it off as your own. | | | | that's what this game is all about. It's all about |
| However, when you have bought the content | | | | being 'unique'. If you can make it unique, you're in |
| (that's what I prefer to call PLR articles), then you | | | | the game in a big way. That's what's meant by |
| have the right to rewrite. And that's the kind of | | | | rewriting becoming the rage. |
| rewriting that should and could become the rage, | | | | The trick is to view it differently. To see what |
| if it hasn't already done so. | | | | incredible possibilities it holds. There are many with |
| There will be many who tell you it isn't quite the | | | | vision who have seen its tremendous potential. It's |
| done thing. That writing should be done the good, | | | | the kind of activity that should be proudly brought |
| old-fashioned way. All that research and | | | | up front and displayed, not pushed behind and out |
| thought...now how can you call it a good piece of | | | | of sight somewhere. True original writing, if you |
| writing sans all those ingredients? I beg to | | | | want to make the distinction, is great when you |
| disagree. Consider the articles that you buy as | | | | have a great writer doing it. Rewriting too can be |
| content. Anyone, but anyone can pay for content | | | | stupendous if you have a great writer doing it. For |
| and buy it. Then all you do is shape it and make it | | | | one thing, it's faster. The material is in front of |
| yours by putting your own signature on it. That is | | | | you. For another, instead of focusing on both |
| or rather should be the way rewriting is looked at. | | | | form and content, all you have to do is |
| It really isn't something to be looked down upon. | | | | concentrate on the form. You can tweak it, |
| No way. It isn't a sort of poorer cousin or inferior | | | | fashion it the way you want and play it your own |
| being to writing. In fact, it could very easily be | | | | special way. If it rises above the cacophony and |
| elevated to an art. | | | | babble of badly written stuff to a thing of beauty, |
| Do I hear a burst of laughter or sniggers, maybe? | | | | that's your doing, just yours. |
