I have coached writers to find objects with stories hiding inside. But what if I told you that there is a secret history hiding inside a single punctuation mark -- a period, a dot, a full stop -- planted after a single name? If you doubt, check it out! poynter.org/commentary/202…

@RoyPeterClark Thank you for this. It will fall on deaf ears. Society has been taught to hate the profession. But the portrayal of a lynch mob of reporters going after clear victims is Hollywood nonsense.

When I graduated from Providence College in 1970, those rhyming initials -- PC -- did not yet refer to Personal Computers or to Political Correctness. My brother Vincent Paul Clark graduated from the college, as did I, Roy Peter Clark. So we both have PC in initials: VPC, RPC.

@ProvidenceCol @mallarytenore @RoyPeterClark Oh, I thought "PC Magazine" was something else... @PCMag ...even though Providence College was founded in 1917.

1,000 high school students showed up last week for a literary festival in Tampa. In support of my latest book, I conducted workshops on the craft of writing the college admissions essay. Creative kids taught me a lot. facebook.com/roypeter.clark…
