Essays on the writing process from my perspective....
All the essays and articles here are offered free of charge. You're welcome to read any or all of them. All I ask is that if you do quote from or mention these essays, give me credit as the author and link back to this page! Most of these essays are derived from lectures during class or from presentations given here and there. I have several more of them. I'll (eventually) put up more.
