Effective writing

Аннотация

Part One of this book, Stunning Sentences, the dozens of sentence patterns that I've identified are a start, not a finish. Nor do I delve into the word choices and ideas so important for making sentences truly stunning. And the focus is on expository writing not fiction. The techniques presented in Part Two: Powerful Paragraphs, refine in the workshops I've conducted over the past fifteen years to help you write paragraphs that are unifired, coherent, and well developed. The questions about identifying a paragraph’s topic and point—and about determining whether each of a paragraph’s sentences bears on that point— should help you spot problems and quickly solve them. The paterns of paragraph development should allow you to inject your writing with variety and interest.
