Seeing and Writing 3

Great seller who sold this to me. Fast shipping, great communication and well packed. The book is really helpful for my class. I would recommend it!

I can see and write now.

I bought this book for a writing class. It taught me to be more observant-sort of, and helped me to write with greater ease- kind of. I saw, I wrote. I wrote about what I saw. My teacher saw what I wrote about. I think I improved my level of observation too much, because now I look very critically at everything. It ruining my life. I can't get anything done at all, with my eyes taking so much time staring at one thing. I've become like some freakin' zombie now. But that only serves as a testament to the effectiveness of this here book. You will be looking at things in a whole new way. I'm more alert to my surrounding now. Perhaps paranoid. This book made me a schitzo. People now look at me like I'm a psychotic fool. I don't know whether to recommend this book or tell you to pass on this one. It was a good book. Buy it now. And see for yourself. You'll see things in a new light. But don't study too hard, it might drive you crazy.
