Writing Apprehension and Anti-writing
註釋Linda Bannister's Writing Apprehension and Anti-Writing is an important early piece of composing process research that, fortunately, is now being made available by the Mellen Press. In this study, Dr. Bannister combines survey and case study methodology to take a close look at how apprehension affects the composing process--particularly planning--and finds that, contrary to general belief, some level of apprehension aids production. She also investigates and theorizes what she calls "anti-writing", a delay in writing, as she puts it, "for the purpose of nutruing ideas." Along the way, she complicates easy notions about the relationhip of apprehension to the quality of writing, about the place of pausing in effective planning, and about the ways planning might be conceptualized. Her work provides empirical support for Donald Murrays's belief in the "essential delay" in composing, and, except for Stephen Witte's 1987 "Pretext and composing", provides the best researched-based examination we have of "that writing is not writing." -- Mike Rose UCLA Writing Program 1991.
