No one questioned the published writing of the other 9-YO with whom I worked. Seriously, you can’t just be happy for the boy?
Here are the facts:
1) I showed him spell check.
2) He conducted interviews and used the interviewee’s words in paraphrasing.
3) Your favorite author could be a dictater.
4) Multiple drafts were involved.
5) There is an editor on the other end who is trying to foster good writing in kids and at the same time has a responsibility to the reading public.
6) Yes, the 9-YO boy wrote the article.
7) You can kiss my ass.
The editor has deleted the exciting conclusion of this blog because she’s pretty sure I can’t threaten to kill people.
Sum bitchez is jealous, yo.
oooohh…i’m adding this person to my list…unless this person is already on the list.
What is going on? Is this just a Tuscon thang and butt out? Of course Parrish wrote it, he has the byline, and last I heard, Newspapers were picky about that stuff.
