Current Revision posted to Writing Exercises by Eric Penz on 11/16/2018 2:57:00 PM

Each of us has felt at least one as if we were foundering in a sea of writing advice, not knowing which is valuable and which is not. How do you choose which advice to listen to and which advice to ignore? While we all find our way, sometimes it helps to take a more formal approach. Author Eric Penz likes to think of writing as a craft, because it is a skill that one must practice to improve. And while apprenticeships may be scarce, there are other opportunities to learn, which he discusses.
