Interesting article about how Ben Franklin improved his writing ability. One of the more interesting bits for me was how Benjamin Franklin would take some of his prose, turn them into poetry, and then after he had forgotten the prose, turned the poetry back into prose.

It seems by doing so he would discover new ways of how to write prose using a variety of rhythm and measure.

I've never heard of that exercise before. Might be worth doing at a workshop sometime.

And thanks to Benjamin, we get an extra hour of writing this weekend.
