Description
How do you start a piece of writing? How do you edit one? And what can be done to combat those pesky-and paralyzing-feelings of perfectionism that often derail our most important sentences and paragraphs?
This sixth volume of the Syntax of Sports series creatively uses the language of baseball, football, tennis, and many other sports to explore these questions. Based on a popular course at the University of Michigan, it captures the energy, originality, and discipline - crossing insights that make its author, Professor Patrick Barry, such a sought-after teacher and presenter.
