A Part of Something : Writing Lessons

by Benjamin Smith

For most of us, writing well seems like an unsolvable mystery. After more than a decade teaching university courses on writing, Benjamin Smith lays out the foundation of what makes good writing tick. It's not about grammar, it's not about syntax, and it's not about formulas--it's about awareness and understanding. In a series of short passages, Smith explains the philosophy of what it means to write well for nearly any audience at any time. Instead of the same old writing drills, these lessons are quick, practical, actionable ideas meant to cultivate your own sense of writing and the world. Originally a farewell to his students, these writing lessons are now available for the first time to everyone.
