Book Description
* How did the poetic ending of Abraham Lincoln's first inaugural address get written?* Why is William Tecumseh Sherman so much a part of the American psyche after more than a century since his death?* What is John Roberts in addition to being Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court?* How can you be an author and not write anything?These are just a few of the questions that get answered in this delightful second volume of Jim Stovall's The Writing Wright series. Stovall, a long-time journalism instructor from the days when newspapers were the chief conveyor of good reporting and editing (alas, no more!) discusses the elements of good writing, gives some tips on how to do it, and -- most importantly -- tells some rollicking good stories that sometimes go beyond the writing life.Sit back and read this delightful book, laugh at the stories and the illustrations (executed by the author himself), and maybe even learn a thing or two in the process.Jim Stovall is a retired journalism professor, beekeeper, woodworker, avid reader, and commentator on whatever interests him. His website is JPROF.com. His latest gig is writer-in-residence at the Blount County Public Library in Maryville, Tennessee.
