  • Analysis Of Ronald Clark Brooks Bad Ideas About Writing

    777 Words  | 4 Pages

    In Bad Ideas about Writing, Ronald Clark Brooks writes that everyone can be a writer because he believes that everyone’s experiences and perspectives are worth writing about.

He also says that even in writing classes, where there may be more structure and rules to follow for writing, optimism and a positive outlook make all the difference.
