Stephen Krashen "How writing makes you smarter."

We get our writing style from reading, but writing itself can help you solve problems and make you smarter. We now know how to do this, thanks to scholars who have explained the strategies that make up the “composing process.” The core strategy is revision, realizing that as you go from draft to draft you come up with new and better ideas. As Peter Elbow states it, “meaning is not what you start out with but what you end up with.” And Neil Simon: “mediocre writers write, good writers rewrite.”

Wow. Just wow....

Maybe the fear of making mistakes is ingrained in us during school years. I believe in reviewing and I think that exams are the wrong way. If you're having a crap day you will probably fail an exam. Progressive revision is far better to achieve your goal.

It drives me round the bend

[@solea59]

@@cpnlsn88 I agree with you on that part. It's not necessary. It's the same in some tv series or films, the music is just too LOUD !!! . It becomes more important than the dialogue .
