They don't say much about technique, and they are written casually, and even informally. Their English sometimes needs a nice brick wall to lean against. When we publish such articles, we aren't thinking about a writer's need to create “three dimensional characters.” We are thinking about a writer's need for companionship.An article such as this is like meeting a writing pal at some bar and chewing the rag for ten minutes. You don't learn much, if anything. But we hope you pick up by reading it, something of the warmth and friendliness and conviviality of the author.The writer of articles such as these is lonely, too. He is thinking of writers he'd like to know. There's a friendly handclasp, a grin, a tart wisecrack and a chuckle for you here from a man who makes his living at a typewriter—and in between stories likes a sympathetic ear to cuss out and praise by turns the peregrinations of those singular people who make up our trade.3200 WordsThis edition includes the illustration to the Willie Klump story, the 7 illustrations to the Chester Gould story, 2 cartoons that accompanied the piece from Writer's Digest, and covers for all 3 magazines.
