Understanding Composing




Summary: I think writing help people to express themselves, I have a big problem trying to express myself and that's the reason why I'm taking this class, I feel that I have nothing to say when I'm writing and my mind comes blind. I am a very inspired person but with writing everything changes and I get shy, I should learn to work with my inner voice and my felt sense, those processes would help me to say or write what I have never said before, to create something new and different.

Paying attention is very important to write, you should pay attention to what you are writing, I use to reread my work because sometimes when I am writing I go fast and I forgot to talk about something and in that way I can have a more accurate work, and when I'am rereading my work I can fix some grammar errors that I use to have a lot. When I finish my writing I see something new, and a way to express myself to other people, I think writing is a way of showing our meanings to other people, we can discover a lot of things by writing and by reading people's work.

Question: Explain “felt sense” in your own words. How do you relate the description of “felt sense” in the reading to you own experience? Can you describe your “felt sense” when it comes to writing?





Response: In my point of view felt sense is what the reader feels at the time or reading something, is what comes to his mind. When I read, a lot of memories come to my mind like things that I have lived or heard, is something that just I can feel and understand because everybody have diferent experiences in life, not everybody have the same experiences. Felt sense is a feeling that just the reader can describe.
