Yes, that does make sence.
I'd like to write my autobiography -- if only for myself.
But I've been learning/trying to communicate for almost 40 years.
Lloyd,
I really enjoy music.
I have your latest cd and have listened to it many times -- I like it.
I think I could write the words to a good song - I imagine it would take a long time to get them simple enough.
The music - I wouldn't even know where to start...
I would have written a poem, not a song.
That may be more similar to creating a golf course -- designing and not overseeing construction.
And with a song or book there is little risk....
Would you use an editor for your autobiography?
