Don't touch that burner Johnny, it's emanating conventionality!

Paul McHenry Roberts while charming fails to realize how ultimately difficult it becomes for people to defy their conventional thought process. His suggestions on the whole are incredibly useful and that must be the test of a true writer: The ability to go against their own mind. Eventually the way I understand the way things are supposed to be handled comes down to retraining your brain. Jumping all over the first idea that comes in your head is comforting and easy but the mind needs to be trained to think conventionality as a burner on a stove, avoid it at all costs. BSing your way through something easily transparent to the reader Roberts states not to assume the reader is naïve and the reader will know when they’re being taken for a ride.
