208-212 Assessing my writings

I think it's a good idea to start any writing off as free writing. No matter who it's for or what it's about. Then after you have let your thoughts flow on the subject, you can begin to assess it. Usually when I write I just do it really fast to get it over with, but this chapter makes really good points. Free writing is really easy and it would give me a chance to just say what I want to say before I censor it. This chapter also has good tips on how to censor my writing. "Purpose, audience, genre, stance, and media/design." These are all points that I can look at when I am revising my free writing. I think audience is probably one of the most important. I need to make my point based on what the audience wants to hear and based on the point that I want to make.
