After reading Perl Sondra, understanding composing, I really took a liking to chapter 366 from paragraph 4 through beginning page 5. This paragraph made my thoughts on writing essay a little at ease. Lately I feel like I have writer's block. I'm so focus on getting a good grade, so nothing I write is good enough. It's more stressful knowing that it's my last year and I want to go out with a bang, so now I'm so focus on what I write. I think this page really gave me a good incite on my issue with writing an essay. Sondra focus on this paragraph is about "felt sense" another name for what professional writers call their inner voice or their feeling of inspiration. The basic process begins with paying attention to the topic that is given.
So much comes to play and reading this paragraph really helped me to see that I'm making it harder then it really is. I will definitely study this page.
Cynthia, I'm glad Perl is helping you with your writer's block! She has some great ideas that should help us get in touch with--and always be able to return to--our felt sense. But don't forget "projective structuring"! It's good to write freely and from the heart, but it's equally important to go back and edit and proofread. You want to proofread very carefully before you share your writing with others, so they can understand you as well as you want them to. We begin with--and return to--felt sense, but we never END there!
