WHY I WROTE
WRITING MADE EASY:
JUST THE BASICS

I had a hard time finding useful information about writing when I was a graduate student in college. I scrambled to find useful information about writing as well when I produced handouts for my students in the English 101 and English 102 classes I later taught in college. The 800-page English 101 classroom textbooks I was required to use contained surprisingly little information about writing and included mostly reading material involving comprehension. I was frustrated with this. I knew early on that I would have to compile a “just-the-basics” approach to writing myself and include only the good information about writing that I could find. Writing Made Easy: Just the Basics is that book. It contains only the essential and required information about writing that people need to know to be able to write successfully, and it eliminates the complicated information that gets in the way.

WRITING MADE EASY:
JUST THE BASICS
CAN HELP PEOPLE

Writing Made Easy: Just the Basics can help people write perfect sentences, understand confusing words, use punctuation marks correctly, use rhetorical techniques to increase their powers of description, develop a heightened appreciation of words (such as where words come from originally), use whom correctly (if they want), improve their research skills online (using Boolean operators, advanced Google searches, and databases), present their research findings professionally, become scholars (if they choose to become scholars), argue positions well, articulate the fallacies of other people’s arguments, enhance their own speaking and reading skills (from learning how to write successfully), and improve their overall chances of success in life.
