It is important to
consider your audience when writing because that will frame what information is
relevant to the reader and what may be superfluous. I used to work for a transportation
company. If I were to write using
abbreviations and other jargon related to big rig trucks, most people would not
understand the meanings. I remember when
I first started that job; I felt like I was reading another language. I think Mr. Rogers was a person that was
particularly skillful and attentive to preparing for and speaking to his

The more research I have done on Mr. Rogers, the more I have come to

them. Mr. Fred Rogers, from the
children’s TV show, had completely captivated and had the full respect of the
audience full of movie stars.

One scene with Bundy putting makeup on a severed head in his house is particularly chilling. When Bundy ends up moving to Utah, his killings appear to have ramped up, and he killed in multiple areas in Utah and Colorado.
