[stylist] Writing process

[Marion Gwizdala, M.S.]

Jim,
    In your message, you state there are well researched differences between 
how the human mind  interacts with hard copy text vs with a virtual 
document." I would certainly be interested in reading more about this. Would 
you please provide us with references to this information?

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala
