SQR1

Summary: This article was how writers write. A few teachers were given an assignment to see how they wrote. They found out that writers tend to reread or take words out and replace them with others and simply just keep adding on to their stories. They also found out that we have felt sense. Felt sense is what helps us write and gives us our creativity, our momentum to keep writing. Felt sense comes from within the body, its something we feel and when it does hit us its practically like magic. Some people feel it in different parts of there body, but mostly stomach. They also found two key points to writing; retrospective and projective structuring. Retrospective helps the writer discover something they didn't before and projective causes conserns for the writer about his or hers audience. Over all they found different skills that writers use but do not really notice they are using them.


Question: Have you ever experienced felt sense? Has it helped you?

Answer: I have experienced felt sense before. At first i'm blank and just sitting there thinking and thinking until i relax and it hits me. So many thoughts come to mind and I'm just writing like there is no tomorrow. Felt sense has helped me so many times with essays, I never knew there was such a thing until this article. Felt sense really does give us our creativity and our momentum to write.

  3. I have felt it before. I get frustrated with felt sense at times because when i try to put things that I have in my head into words,or on a piece of paper, it all comes out as nonsense . At times felt sense benefits me, but sometimes it doesn't.
