   Understand Composing Summary
 Sandra Peel is searching for a way to understand the process that writers take in composing literature. She quotes people to share their opinions and finally comes to the conclusion that this is a certain 'felt sense' within writers that always focus on a subject writing for that certain subject. It takes a certain inspiration within a writer to allow them to focus on the subject and continue to elaborate on it. This is the felt sense that Sandra talks about that certain writers process that allows them to become successful writers. The felt sense can be described as a gut feeling that a writer might get while brainstorming, or the lightbulb effect, where an idea rapidly pops into your head. This sense allows writers to dive deeper in depth into a subject than a normal person could because only writers pocess this felt sense. The writer also uses their felt sense to put themselves in the readers shows in order to make the piece more clear while reading.

We have built knowledge in the way we think and that is why when we are asked a question. We use our felt sense to answer a question the best way possible.
