Boice 83-87
It seems I am missing 83-85 of this section. So I will just blog on the last two pages. In this section Boice discusses the concept that writing can be compared to most other public performances such as dancing, in the manner that it is so susceptible to "excessive self consciousness". We lose "the calm and breadth of perception essential to momentum and problem solving. We also start to scrutinize performance. We block. I have experienced this a numerous amount of times during my five years in college. It is kind of crazy that just the fear of inadequacy can completely put a hault on my writing process. It is really interesting that Boice compares the writing process to teaching in the fact that both receive little training however given the right tools and elements things can come out masterful.
