As a student, you are welcome to “steal” my best stuff. I encourage you to “Finding Forrester” with 007. It’s what I do as EIR here and in Palo Alto.
Have you seen ‘Finding Forrester’, the Sean Connery movie where he mentors a student in writing by copy pasting. Each first paragraph, the student copy-pastes Sean Connery’s Pulitzer prize winning piece. Then after the first paragraph, the student writes original work.
