Rich, that is just the most foolish thing in the world.
Crazy talk, as one of my client’s likes to say. Good writing is hard. Fundamentally,
at its core, inherently, intrinsically, hard.
I find it ironic that scholars that live by, or at least frequently adopt, a constructivist
perspective chuck their beliefs when it comes to writing.
When they discuss about their writing and writing difficulties, they adopt essentialist and positivistic evaluations-- writing is inherently painful, difficult, contested and traumatic.
Why is it that writing possesses a fundamental, non-constructed nature and meaning when every other human behavior does not?
