Take a newspaper.
Take a pair of scissor.
Choose an article as long as you like.
Cut out the article.
Then cut out each of the words that make up the article and put them in a bag.
Shake the bag.
Then take out the scraps one after the other in the order in which they left the bag.
Copy conscientiously.
And here you are: the "accidental writer", infinitely original, with a sensibility that is charming, beyond the understanding of the vulgar.

Emerson once said that no man has been 'wholly' original since Adam. In a sense, we are learning from each other.
