Interesting spin here, as well as frustrating, on the selling of creative work via a professional yet creative cover letter.
Sort of like sticking a spark into a woodpile. Combining two voices, or, if possible, mediating the creative one into following the rules.
I’m tempted to do the blah, blah, blah bit, and close with something to the effect that if one has gotten this far through the letter, one is beyond the dreary, and the excitement is on the very next page.
I suppose I could take the opportunity of this stumbling block to play with the stories themselves..it’s certainly more fun.
