Week 11: Where I'm Hurting.
From what I've understood in my writing career at college, confusion can sometimes be a good things. This is where the writer can hopefully tap into the critcal thinking process, and think about why a certain topic is difficult to write about. This is where I seem to be at, and I need to fine the thread that holds my paper together--or just start all over again. I really like where my introduction is at, but then the body just seems to fall flat on it's face. Being able to struggle shows that the process of writing is not meant to be a cakewalk, but like anything, a process where we are learning. Thing become struggles because they are new to us, thus through the struggle comes a lesson to be learned.

This is a sweet description of struggle, Stuart, and of how struggle helps us. I wonder, too, if there are other forms of struggle in writing, other times struggle appears than just with the new. I think about how I struggle to figure out what my argument is when I write -- and the process of determining my argument is one I've felt many many many (sigh!) times.
