Writing #1: The Stimulating Effects of Concrete

Season 4 is about writing. As one of the most accomplished authors of the early 20th century, Sayers is a good person to teach us how to write. In this episode, we learn the value of concrete - how something solid and tangible can wake us up. On the other hand, abstract words and cliches lull us to sleep. Join us as we learn Sayer's opinion from two articles: "Ink of Poppies" and "Words I am Weary of."
