Bill Drew and NewView - The Monday Morning Memo

NewView is a perspective
on writing that considers every writer to be a teacher and every reader to be a student. “The most important thing in writing,” says NewView originator Bill Drew, “is 'what's new' to the reader.”

Drew teaches that our Old Views are built from our values, experiences, expectations, reasonings and language. These can be altered by applying one or more of the NewView options:

1. Reverse

2. Enlarge

3. Reduce

4. Substitute

5. Reorganize

“Dilemma is a Greek compound noun meaning ‘two prepositions or premises.’ A dilemma is a situation that forces a person to choose between two equally unpleasant options. During the Middle Ages, philosophers used the word lemma when describing one of the difficult choices to be made in such a situation, which they called a double lemma. Eventually a lemma was also called a horn for two symbolic reasons: (1.) they typically come in pairs and (2.) their sharp ends are unpleasant if you get caught on them. Hence, when you face a predicament which offers only two, equally unhappy options, you are caught on the horns of a dilemma.“
