WRITER-BASED PROSE: A COGNITIVE BASIS FOR PROBLEMS IN WRITING

Summary:

A writer-based prose is a verbal expression written by a writer to himself and for himself. It is like his own thought of the article, and the reader-based prose is to communicate something to a reader, to express an idea of something.

The writer-based prose can be identificated by features of structure, function and style. In the writer-based prose the reader is forced to do most of the work. He has to think all the article and get his own conlussions of it, maybe it is a Little more difficult, but the reader will get better conclussions of that because he will put more attention in the article and he will understand it more.

The style of writer-base prose has its own logic. Its two main stylistic features grow out of the prívate nature of interior monologue, and in this monologue the structure and the organization of the words and the sentences reflects the focus  of the writers attention, and what he wants to do more énfasis.

In fact the writer-base prose is writing whose meaning is still an important thing in the writers head.

How does the author describe the egocentric nature?

The egocentric nature to him, is just writing to understand your self , not worring about others to understand the full meaning, he describes this nature describing a child that with out knowing writes in a selfish way, and talks about his points of views, meaning that the writing is not going to be fully understood by the whole public due to a lack of explanations on the writing.  In other words egocentric is just to be concerned with your self and not really concern about the understading of the public.
