presents “Two Voices”
– a discussion about writing
by 2 writers, Anh & Alfred
Writers do not write in a vacuum. The writing process is a learning process. We discuss the pros and cons of learning to write and the value of receiving support/structure from other writers/writing instructors.
Anh & Alfred continue their conversation on learning in the writing process. We delve into writing as a vocational/specialized training, and the value of the internet connecting writers into a community.
Anh & Alfred continue their conversation on learning in the writing process. We discuss the pitfalls of writing and the value of getting feedback (what writers want vs. what writers need) in light of the danger of falling into an echo chamber.
Anh & Alfred continue their conversation on learning in the writing process. We touch on David Foster Wallace’s ideas on English usage (descriptivism vs. prescriptivism), then delve into the importance for writers to communicate their ideas and voice in ways that their readers will understand.
