While attending the University of New York in 1979, Anne including nineteen other writing teachers were given an assignment. Which was created in a research and basic writing course; it determined to tape them selves while composing on the topic, “My Most Anxious Moment as a Writer.” The whole purpose of this project was to help others understand the process of composing.
Recurring was one of the things these researchers noticed while listening to the tapes. For example, Anne took some quiet time to reread what she had written, and also repeated the topic just to make sure that it was flowing and making sense.
When a writer is at pause and looks like if they are wondering within their mind, and showing physical reactions, it is called “felt sense.” "Felt sense" has been coined and described by Eugene Gendlin, a philosopher at the University of Chicago ... a bodily awareness that . . . encompasses everything you feel and know about a given subject at a given time....”
The composing process within each and every writer is different, but every writer uses some type of composing strategies. Whether it’s thinking aloud, or patiently waiting for it to make sense.




Q #6
What is “projective structuring” about? What are some common evaluative criteria for an intelligible piece of writing? What else (besides the above criteria), in your opinion, is needed for a reader to really understand a piece of writing?
R
“Projective structuring is the ability to craft what one intends to say so that it is intelligible to other.” “Understanding composing, Page 368.” One of the most common evaluative criteria for an intelligible piece of writing is when the writer is given a topic to write about; followed with trying to transmit the piece to the reader. Therefore the writer first transforms himself as the reader. Allowing the reader to comprehend what the writer is trying to get across; whether it involves picturing a setting, or transferring emotions. For example, when a writer is writing a story for small children, he needs to think as one of them. For that reason he should include more pictures that are colorful and visible. Each page should include at least one sentence per page, and the sentences need to be simple for the young reader to read. In order for a reader to really understand a piece of writing he/she needs to have some knowledge of what they are going to read before actually opening the piece. You may read the brief summary that’s printed behind the book or even just by reading the title may allow the reader to understand a little bit about the writing. A piece of advice too every reader, don’t always judge a book by its cover.
