I Have Two Hands: The Left and the Write

My writing needs some workout. I’m tired noticing my tired, convoluted sentences that taste like unripe bananas. I reckon Mr. Clark can help.

I had copied-and-pasted Roy Peter Clark’s Writer’s Toolbox series a long time ago. He’s part of the Poynter Insitute where they help journalists improve their craft. So far, he has written some 50-plus writing techniques in column format (with a suggested workshop at the end) to help journalists – or any writer – write better prose. I’ve been through them a long time ago, and I think it’d be worthwhile to review them in a more in-depth manner. Mr. Clark writes gems.

I will start going through all those “tools” again, taking one of them each day. I think you can, too. Vale la pena.
