Re: About proprietary writing samples

[John Posada <john -at- tdandw -dot- com>]

The prop documents ARE what we wrote. Or are you suggesting that during the
interview we start up Frame (or Word, or RH) and crank out a document right
there. Hmm...maybe RH with their 70 minute help system had something there.

Besides...I only show samples when the client asks "Can I see something
you've written?" Even though I have 30 pounds of samples I could show him,
do I say "Sorry, I'm a writer...let me write an installation manual while we
speak."
