Even though you may not believe that the Bible is the Word of God, do you at least admire the rhetorical qualities of the King James Bible? Almost every rhetorical device is found in it, along with many rhetorical structures, not to mention its matchless cadences. Do you believe that there is anything we can learn about writing from the Bible?
I've been trying to learn a lot of rhetoric but I've been having trouble.
The most challenging thing for me in writing is invention; I often experience severe mental blocks which make it difficult for me. I seem to have discovered some strategies to overcome it, but I have yet to use them for any actual piece yet. One thing I thought of is to pick a noun, ask a question about it, and then turn it into a statement. I'm not sure if I read that advice in a book or not, but there are a number of things like that I can do to start the process of invention when I don't already have an idea.
