i’ll admit that i was surprised to receive his inquiry in response to what i feel amounted to nothing more than a slice-of-life reflection on a chance encounter with a stranger whom i was in the unique position to have previously read something about in a book, whether or not one considers ‘me talk pretty one day’ to be the kind of autobiographical writing that strives as much as possible to adhere to the truth.

still, i’m not so sure that alex heard’s request necessarily indicates that he’s a desperate hack.

i guess your readers can take it for what it’s worth, at any rate.
