In Class: Ballenger's Ideas

writing as inquiry... wow. what was I thinking while I was reading this? I remember thinking I was hungry, and then I got up to get a bottle of water. I sat back down with the book and and stared at the words before me. The everlasting sound of wind between my ears distracted me from the words in front of me. If I can remember correctly, writing as inquiry is to write to raise questions and get them answered. While writing, one discovers new ideas about their subject, not before in an overveiw. Now, all of these questions raised in one writing may be answered in another essay, yet the next essay will bring more questions. Just so, as questions are raised in one paragraph of an essay, they may be answered in the next paragraph. It is all part of the discovery. To write as inquiry, one must take off the filter from their brain to their fingers. Disreguard their thalamus and power forward. Good god I have no idea what to talk about next. I'm extremely fatigued and want to go back to bed. However, I would forgo a nap for some freaking food. Well, two minutes to finish up some bad writing turns into two seconds.
