How is that? At school you enjoyed writing essays and essays, but you were never accepted into the Writers’ Union? – And what is the work anyway? – You will have to rewrite the “Encyclopædia Britannica”. The first volume is in this cupboard. You will get the ink, pens, paper and blotter yourself; we will give you a table and chair. Can you start work tomorrow? – Of course, – I answered. – In that case, goodbye, Mr. Jabez Wilson. Let me congratulate you once again on the fact that you have managed to get such a good place.
Arthur Conan Doyle. “The Redhead Union”
This story by Conan Doyle tells how a certain Jabez Wilson almost made a decent living rewriting texts. What this gentleman failed to do in the last century, he would have quite succeeded in our 21st century. And instead of ink, pens, paper and blotting paper, he would only need a computer and the Internet. And being a redhead is not at all necessary.
Rewriting is the brother of graphomania.
If you enjoyed writing presentations and essays at school, then you can easily earn money from rewriting. There are many customers on the Internet who will pay you to “reverse” a text already written by someone else, make it less cumbersome and more interesting and attractive.
Graphomania is the half-sister of literature.
Most talented writers take into account the opinions of readers, and this is a kind of positive incentive for them for further professional growth. And graphomaniacs are deprived of this, therefore they cannot professionally improve and develop. That is why their work has no literary and spiritual value. Their writing is monotonous and not original. After a while, all real feeling comes down to just showing off your creations.
“Graphomania, Causes.”
