In 1938, Bill W. replied to Dr. Bob S.’s request for clarification of what Bill
wanted in the personal stories from Akron members:
About the stories, I should say that everyone should write at whatever length they want to; the more, the better. Then the thousand word manuscripts can be edited down to the right size. The idea is that a chance word or phrase or experience may be the most telling point of the story, which would be missed entirely if people were trying to restrict themselves to a given number of words.
