It is unbelievable that one piece of writing must be accomplished through the process of recursiveness--backward moving action.

After reading through the journal of Sondra Perl, I definitely agree with her because I really do the process of recursiveness in my writing unawarely. I reread what I have written, use some hinge word relating to the topic and making felt-sense behavior.

When I complete my writing, I only know that my work is done. I don't know that it is finished because I pass through the process of felt-sense behavior. I have just known that the activities of reducing complex of thought, writing understandable sentenses, creating relevant ideas and avoiding repetitive writing forms are doing "felt sense."

Understanding Composing

In my opinion, I think recursive is one of useful approach when writers stuck in an idea. We may get the idea for the next sentence after we reread the previous sentence and perhaps we may edit sentence to get the way to go on. Somtimes we may return to the topic and change it ot suitable for what we have written ,in the other hands, we may change what we have written. Recurring can occurs every phrases, sentences or paragraphs depends on writers. How about the word "felt sense"? I know that the word means "a kind of bodily awareness that encompasses everything you feel and know about a given subject at a given time" (p.101) I would like you to more describe about it in our class.

Understanding Composing


Sandra Perl said that writing is a recursive process (p.100). When I compose a writing, some parts appeared to be recursive, such as when I am stuck; I use the topic or a key word in it as a way to get going. Sometimes I felt sense appear to me, "When writers pause, whey they go back and repeat key words, what they seem to be doing is waiting, paying attention to what is still vague and unclear. They are looking to their felt experience, and waiting for an image, a word, or a phrase to emerge that captures the sense they embody." (p.101) That could best describe when I feel felt sense.
If the writers don't have a Projective Structuring, what would it be?
