Let's Get Writing!

Abstract

This introduction is designed to exemplify how writers think about and produce text. The guiding features are the following: • Every good piece of writing is an argument. • Everything worth writing and reading begins with a specific question. • Improving skills takes practice, feedback, and re-thinking, redoing, revising. The layout of our book implies there is a beginning, middle, and end to a writing course, but because writing is both an art and a skill, people will find their own processes for learning, improving, and using these skills. Writing processes differ because we are each looking for a workable schemata that fits our way of thinking.
