It's time for another writer's profile. Another writer I really admire is E.B. White. Most people know him from the popular children book Charlotte's Web. Charlotte's Web holds a special place in my heart because that is where my early childhood vocabulary came from. I used to greet my mom with a "Salutations, Mother!"
E.B. White was born July 11, 1899, in Mt. Vernon, New York. His writing career began by him being an editor for a newspaper. His best known children books are of Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little, and The Trumpet of the Swan. His non-fiction includes The Elements of Style, and his collection of essays. He also wrote for newspapers and magazines.
The Lesson:
The most important thing to remember about E.B. White other than being a phenomenal writer is to see the diversity of his writing. E.B. White excelled in many types of writing. He is a great example of a very well rounded writer. He wrote many types of genres and excelled at them all.
While we can't all be E.B. White, we need to be familiar with other kinds of writing. This will improve your writing all around and will also make you more marketable if you wish to pursue a career in writing.
How we can apply this to our own writing:
- try writing other genres of writing
- read other types of writing to get ideas
