Writing is my strong suit too, but I’m a novelist, not a passion-filled speech writer like yourself. I sent a bit of an old manuscript to Asheville School (the school I’m going to attend in…2 days) And the lady wrote back and wanted the whole book. So i sent it to her, and she loved it. I think that was my tipping point. Since then Ive been in really close contact with her, and the chair of the English department but i digress. If I has sent them the whole novel, at first, I dont think it would have the same effect… Anyways, I say all that to make a very simple point.
Make the paper shorter.
I just worry about how BIG it’s going to be. Too much pasion can be “scary” a bit of a turn off. Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address was only a few lines long. And personally i get more out of shorter pieces than longer ones.
