774 - Roy Peter Clark on Civic Clarity

Roy Peter Clark has been teaching writing at the Poynter Institute since 1977 and regularly offers up some of the best writing advice I see. Today, we talked about

• Writing differently during the pandemic
• Living up to your duty as a writer to achieve civic clarity
• Creating his new book, "Murder Your Darlings"
• Learning that one of his best writing tips (which he shares) is as old as Roman times
• Being a putter-inner instead of a taker-outter
