Murray Chapter 2

"Beginning writers make the mistake of looking for ideas before beginning to write. They must welcome the hint, the clue, become suspicious of developed ideas, even fear the idea that is so complete--so authoritative--it does not allow surprise." Murray Chapter 2 p.28
Sometimes student writers worry about the mistakes rather the process. Learn to create they own voice through practice and hard work. Also, give up some control of their own and be free to write without prejudice of their mind and not worry about their classmates concerns.
