Summary:
Understanding composing begins with asking yourself simple questions. Is it a plan-write-revise sequence? What do you have to do to keep the process moving without taking steps back? Analyzing your process will show the route you take in writing. Writing seems to be recursive from writer to writer.

The biggest recursive step writers do is re-read followed by returning to their topic. The least recursive, but still common, notion is the feelings the piece brings out in the writer. When writers feel inspiration they know it’s time to begin their piece. The ‘felt sense’ guides them through the writing process. It is important to pay careful attention to that sense and your inner reflections on the topic.

Really grasping this process would lead to waiting for it to form instead of trying to figure it out. Once your sense forms, it leads to words. This process is called retrospective structuring. Once you realize the writing structure is recursive, you will have a much easier time. A formulaic approach brings you less of a feeling of accomplishment.

Projective structuring is the process of crafting what one intends to say so that it is intellectual to others. This is only one part of the composing process. Many writers focus on what they think others want to hear instead of what they want to write. In a sense, retrospective and projective structuring are two parts of the same basic process. Writing becomes a much easier task once you understand the process of composing.

Question:
How does your 'felt sense' help your writing? What is your personal view on the 'felt sense'?

Responce:
Your felt sense helps your writing grow. It adds more of a personal touch to it and spices up your piece. Using your felt sense really lets a reader know that you've had experience on a first person basis with your topic and that you really understand what it is that youre writing. Without this sense, writing would be bland and not have much feeling behind it. Once you incorporate the felt sense into your writing, it draws the reader in and makes them want to hear more. I always use the sense when im writing. If i cant use my felt sense then I cant finish a piece. Putting your own experiences into your piece makes the writing process bearable. If I had to write about a topic I had no passion about, it would turn out horrible and no one would want to read it. I encourage everyone to dig deep inside them and always wait for that felt sense before they start writing.
