Day 4 - A Letter to an Agent

As you know I am borrowing these suggestions from Brian A. Klems at Writer's Digest. I found this exercise kind of goofy, but I went ahead anyway- I am a business writer, so sometimes I have to do work rather than have fun with my writing. Before I tell you the next exercise from Brian, I want to share a little comment I received from one of the members of a group from LinkedIn. I really don't know what it is about some of the people in these groups. When I started out in the business world during the dinosaur age, we were taught to be kind, courteous and respectful. Flying off the handle was not allowed. But, of course, T-Rex wouldn't have responded well to wild shows of emotion. Anyway, I shared one of my posts with a group of business writers. I hope I have made it clear that this blog is about creative writing. In the beginning I said that I am a business writer who was always trying to find the voice of my employers and now I wanted to keep my own voice as a writer. One of the LinkedIn members flew into a rage when I asked, " How do you find your own voice"? He said, " I AM NOT TRYING TO FIND MY OWN VOICE, I AM REPRESENTING THE VOICE OF MY EMPLOYER"!! He seemed very angry. I thought it was comical- Anyway- here is Day 4

Day 4: Write a letter to an agent telling her how wonderful you are.
