If you do write like this, don&#8217;t send it to a publisher.  It&#8217;s creepy, embarrassing, and hilarious.

That&#8217;s paper that could be still be trees. Instead it&#8217;s a permanent record of a complete lack of understanding of composition, physical intimacy, and basic anatomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I changed my mind. Publish all writing like this.
