After reading both articles, I feel that I have a rounded understanding of the two authors ideas.
I'm guilty of only seeing if my papers are grammatically correct after I have written the entire thing. Micciche claims that this categorizes what is write and wrong, and can leave your paper flat. This idea is new to me, and makes sense. During the writing process, I'm going to need to put more thought and emphasis and the rhetorical grammar I use, so in the end, I have more of a voice. By using grammar during the composing process, I can explore possibilities, and give thought to every sentence and paragraph I construct.
I need to start examining things the articles I read for sentence structure in terms of rhetorical grammar. Once I caught onto this, I tried to pay close attention to how the two authors wrote. Automatic mastery of this is impossible, but through practice, it should help.
