- “Writers must learn to be their own best enemy. They must accept the criticism of others and be suspicious of it; they must accept the praise of others and be even more suspicious of it. Writers cannot depend on others”.(Paragraph 4) When reading this paragraph I found it interesting because when it says that writers must learn to be their own best enemy I thought it was silly, but when reading this I could see why this statement is true because if you think about when writers become their own enemy there process of thinking and writing becomes stronger and getting the idea of what’s it being in your enemy shoes can help.
- “Most writers scan their drafts first, reading as quickly as possible to catch the larger problems of subject and form, and then move in closer and closer as they read and write, reread and rewrite”.(Paragraph 12) I feel like most writers whether they are professional or students writers they usually when done with their writing they will scan so with this paragraph I can agree with the author understanding.
- “Writers reading their own drafts are aware of audience. They put themselves in the reader’s situation and make sure that they deliver information which a reader wants to know or needs to know in a manner which is easily digested”.(Paragraph 15) I agree with what the author is saying for this paragraph because as writers imagine themselves as the audience it can help the authors bring up more ideas on their piece or if there is something to add or takeout, this is a great strategy for writers.
- “Words have double meanings, even triple and quadruple meanings. Each word has its own potential of connotation and denotation. And when writers rub one word against the other, they are often rewarded with a sudden insight, an unexpected clarification”.(Paragraph 25). I agree with this paragraph because every time when you start to write something there will always be double meaning to and what you write can reflect on others and can think many things depends on how you write and what you are trying to express.
