Moore's article has a more serious tone to it although humor is used in points to clarify how tough it was when she started writing. Lorrie uses to humor to lighten up situations that were very tough and sad in Francie's life. Writing was her life, although everyone around her thought she should try something else. They said she had no plot, which is basically the backbone of your writing, and since they didn't see an evident plot they took it as bad writing technique and criticized her. Her story is a common cliche' of writers. People take writers as loners who sit in their rooms all day and do nothing but write about strange occurrences and weird stories. I have been stereotyped as the typical jock who is dumber then everyone and has no concept of reality, but this is untrue. I am used to the five paragraph essay. I think it is more strenuous and can lead to a worse paper if you use this format, because as a paper increases, paragraphs weaken and loose main points. This is why when i write i try to stick to a three paragraph style. I think this story is very inspiring to people who have been told they are terrible writers, because if you stick it out you can be successful.
