Rather than cut and paste this paragraph from some handy online source, I typed it out, because doing so gave me a little thrill. Once upon a time, I typed out in full Jackson’s short story “The Renegade” to see whether doing so might make me better appreciate how beautifully constructed the story was. It did. It’s an exercise you might want to try out on one of your own favorite pieces of writing, if you have the time.
