Monday, July 6, 2020: Writing Fundamentals — Prose, and Word of the Week
Monday’s piece is technically today’s piece, but to Hell with it — it’s America weekend! Where we get to celebrate staggering rates of infection!
Monday’s piece will be on prose — what it is, how to develop it, and is it necessary. It’s the first piece in a collection of articles titled, Writing Fundamentals.
Also on Monday, the first edition of Word of the Week, a weekly series every Monday where I provide a word to keep on your mind throughout the week, my thoughts on it, any life experience I have, and why it’s important to me.

On Tuesday we’re discussing the fundamentals of poetry, poetry techniques, great poets, and where to start for my poets out there.
