Week 1
Assessing Writing Beliefs and Behavior
Much like an iceberg, when it comes to writing, a lot happens below the surface that can affect what happens above the surface. A writer’s successes and failures in writing greatly influence his or her beliefs and behaviors. It is important to take stock of those beliefs and behaviors before a new chapter in writing begins. The bottom line is that you have what it takes to be a good writer. Your ability to write well depends on the effort and time you put into this class and the writing process starting today.
