Writing Tools

Page 19

by Roy Peter Clark


  4. Interview another writer about her writing process. Turn it into a conversation in which you describe your own methods.

  5. On a blank piece of paper, list your favorite writing tools to add to this collection. Good luck and keep writing.

  So there you have them: a shiny new set of writing tools and a workbench on which to store them. Use them well, to learn, to find your authentic voice, and to see the world — with startling intensity — as a storehouse of story ideas. Use them to become a better student, a better teacher, a better worker, a better parent, a better citizen, a better person. Own these writing tools. They now belong to you. Keep them sharp. Share them with others. Add your own. Take pride in your craft. Join a nation of writers. And never forget to get the name of the dog.
