Begin sentences with subjects and verbs, is the first tool in Roy Peter Clark's Writing Tools: 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer. Own the tools of your craft, the last. Pithy, entertaining, and always straight-to-the-point, Writing Tools sandwiches 48 more useful tools in-between, on Nuts and Bolts (words and sentences) Special Effects (tricks of the trade), Blueprints (organizational strategies), and Useful Habits for successful writers. Informed by Clark's thirty years as a teacher, writer, and journalist, every tool bears the stamp of his experience and lighthearted wisdom--from the usefulness of the suggestions (Tool 14: Get the name of the dog) to the clarity of the prose itself.
