Within the Ehrenworth and Vinton article, I found that they really wanted the writer to develop a voice. By doing this, they can incorporate grammar mechanics, and this can only be done through practice. They are afraid that the current way that grammar is taught only offers resentment towards students, thus inhibiting their inner voice. Students tend to write in a language that is similar to their peer groups, so by tapping into personal experience, they offer empathy towards their audience. This makes for an identifiable reading for the audience. Also, by properly using punctuation and knowing when to end a sentence, you are able to put power into your words.
By not waiting for the revision process, writers are able to think about their sentence during the free writing process. This will give the writer practice and understanding toward the process.
