Writing Tools

One of my goals for Writing Tools: The Blog is to show off the ideas of readers.  Many of you offer personal questions or messages, or post feedback for all to read. A recent post on how a detail makes meaning received an especially thoughtful string of responses. I encourage you to read these nine good comments and to offer your own. They have helped me see how the same detail can reveal or conceal -- depending on the context; how good reporting can clarify and sharpen a detail;  and how important it is for the writer to use the detail, and not the detail use the writer.

Thanks to all of you for reading this blog and joining a community of craft.  Cheers.  -- RPC
