Ever read a book you thought you could have written better yourself?
I could hardly write my own prayer. If I do not like a book and have difficulty finishing it the book may not be for me. I would leave the writing or rewriting to someone whom the story belongs.
With books at work (academic) - maybe edit, adjust examples, or illustrate a concept to fit needs of certain learners. But then writing it better? I might as well write another book entirely.

I agree with your sentiment that if I'm going to re-write something I might as well just write another story. I have a similar answer on my BTT:

have a wonderful thursday!
I'm not a writer, but there are times when I'd like to be an editor.
ReplyDelete[...] Heaps of celebrations fill March 21st – International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, National Common Courtesy Day…. Out of thirteen there are two that particularly attracted me: National Single Parents Day and Children’s Poetry Day. [...]
ReplyDeleteCommon Courtesy Day... Should be more than just one day! Thanks for visiting last night!
ReplyDeleteIndeed! It probably should even be every day.
ReplyDeleteI am new to blogging and this is interesting. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteFragrance day is really interesting. :) Btw, I also love reading books.
ReplyDeleteThen welcome to my world!
ReplyDeletefragrance day really catches my attention.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how they celebrate "Fragrance Day"...
ReplyDeleteBut I would choose no. 6 National Flower Day - I am a frustrated gardener and I would love to see flowers in full bloom during this festivity
wow Memory Day exists! hahahhaa this should be practiced and remembered
ReplyDeleteI dont think I can relate on this one although I love reading books :/
ReplyDeleteLike you I'd probably put down a book I don't like after two pages ^_^ I would want to be a proofreader somehow but my own writing needs to be edited and proofread.lol. I find number 1 interesting though that's doable it's not gonna be in this system of things.
ReplyDeleteI used to read a lot. It's sad that I don't have much time to that now. Number one interests me.
