I feel the pain!!!! Writing is so personal;it’s a part of you that you that you share with others and you are at their mercy as they respond however they want! Intimidating to say the least…but, rewarding when you know it’s written well and someone acknowledges that.

I can agree to that statement and I venture to say that it is the way most students feel that are reluctant to write. If we truly knew, it may be the reason they refuse or do not write. How sad.

I see this fear daily with some of my students. They write but they fear it’s not good enough.

Boy do I know that fear! I am working through it though, little by little.
