Summary
Writing With Power: Techniques for Mastering the Writing
Process
Writing with Power is a guide for the student writing an essay, the
professional writer working on a story, or the manager writing a
memo for a tight deadline. As Elbow explains, "Writing with power
doesn't just mean getting power over readers. It means getting
power over yourself and over the writing process: knowing what you
are doing as you write; figuring out what you really mean; being in
charge, having control; not feeling stuck or helpless or
intimidated., I am particularly interested in this second kind of
power in writing, and I have found that without it you seldom
achieve the first kind". For the second edition, Elbow has written
a new introduction in which he discusses in detail the "mysterious"
dimensions of "Writing with Power" - voice, quality and bad
writing, wrongness and felt sense, and sharing written work with
others.
