Repeat after me: Writing is a Process.

After reading all readings thus far, and the Lindemann stuff I have come to the conclusion that we as teachers (and subsequently, students) should focus on WRITING AS A PROCESS. This theme is prevalent in all the readings, and each has its own bit of “personal story/literacy autobiography” frosting to scrape off. However, in the Hodges and Fulwiler readings I have found a bit of a respite. Both of these writers take time to focus on specific aspects of the process, as opposed to just telling us why it matters. Hodges gives tips on invention, and Fulwiler helps with understanding one’s audience and figuring out ways to prepare for pre-writing. They helped break the monotony of “writing is a process”. Yes, we know.
