A Lost Art - Video Introduction

Reg Grant, professor, actor, author, father, and creative writer. The Lost Art of Letter Writing will help men to see that writing is not the daunting task it seems to be. Rather it can be an uplifting and fun exercise. Reg keeps the lessons light and entertaining with his classic wit wisdom. Learn how to communicate in a way you never thought possible.

Session 1 - WRITE!

Just do it! Writing begins when you actually sit down, take a breath, and put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard). Anyone can write a letter, even you. Reg begins with some of the basics of a letter. First and foremost is to get it down on paper. Editng can take place later. Get down the essentials and sort it out as you go along. It's not as hard as we can sometimes make it out to be.

Session 2 - REWRITE!

OK, now you have it down. Now is the time to go back and do little re-arranging. What looks good, what doesn't? What's your style? Don't be afraid to just be yourself.

Listen as Reg gives some excellent advice on how to create your own style and use it to convey your thoughts to those you care about.

Session 3 - IMAGING!

There is nothing better than a good word picture. It helps us visualize an event, a person or a place. Reg will help you learn how to create word pictures that will engage and excite your readers. Don't let it scare you. You can do it!

God gave us amazing brains that can take anything we hear, see or feel and turn it into a picture in our mind. Learn how to take a few words and make them come alive.

Session 4 - TEST & EDIT!

Doesn't it drive you crazy when someone takes 5 minutes to tell you something that could have been done in 30 seconds? That can also happen in writing. More words do not always mean more understanding. Learn to test your writing and edit as needed. Concise, sharp editing can turn a good letter into a great one.
