| Summary: | Every writer knows putting words on paper is a difficult task.
Sometimes the difficulties become insurmountable. He got
himself into a state of frustration in writing when the flow of ideas
stopped. A writer got stuck and banged his head against the wall
for long hours instead of writing. His struggle becomes futile
without getting the desired result. Despite being armed with
knowledge and language ability, he cannot execute his task. The
objective is primarily to understand the cognitive processes in
writing employing different approaches: mechanistic writing and
developmental organic writing models. This understanding is
derived and inferred from some learning theories such as the
behaviourist and mechanical models coupled with issues related
to the functions of brains and ‘mind’ in writing as expounded by
some known linguists and writers. It is hoped that by
understanding the cognitive processes at work in writing, anyone
who intends to write can benefit in terms of enhancing his writing
skill and making writing a challenging and enjoyable task. The
study is on a qualitative analysis of abook written by Peter Elbow
on `Writing Without Teachers` and `Writing with Power`.
Compared to the researchers, the data collected from his
experiences will embark on the meaning of `organic writing`. |
