Peter Elbow's Right for the Modern Age
In an ancient age before ink and paper, or even before Guttenburg, pre-writing was done in the head, perhaps after long discussions with key conversants.
Today we write a lot, and we write paperlessly. The change fits the new medium, allowing (as some of my professorial colleagues put it) for mental laziness. I disagree.
As far as I'm concerned, I'm glad to see someone like Mr. Healy using the process writing approaches of Elbow. Elbow's method is not the only approach, of course. But it is perfect for approaching writing as flow rather than solid.
