  -> or that he does not really "think" when he writes, as many of these pen-per-hire writers do. They just thrown in a bunch of preset words and phrases.

agree  Judith Kerman: The English is not unusual, but actually doesn't make sense. This is what is meant. Take possession is probably more usual.
