I was going to just leave your earlier statement. I think I understand what you mean, but within certain boundaries I was given a fairly free reign. Of course, I knew who I was writing for. Yet I did discover that, if I wanted a statement to stand, but was afraid it wouldn't, I could sometime rescue it if I pushed it further than I wanted it, so that when they toned it down it would say what I wanted. Not that this happened a lot.Hats Off wrote:When I refer to his earlier books, I refer to Rod and Staff publications where he was commissioned to write.
Rod and Staff seems to believe that Truth is produced by committees. The writer is less likely to be right than the reviewers if there is a difference of opinion. Even the editor needs to give lip service to bowing to the wishes of the reviewers. So in a sense maybe you were right. But I'd like to believe that I brought some fresh ideas to the table in those books.
Of course you and your father aren't the normal class of readers...
