In Class: Free Write about Ballenger

Writing as inquiry gives us more perspective on ideas that we may not have known. We write to find out more about ourselves and find our strengths and weaknesses. By the time we have finished prewriting, main writing, and rewriting, we know waht we need to improve. I have to be honest though, I briefly read the chapter, but I don't think I retained much of it. That said, I'm not sure if my idea of "writing as inquiry" is correct. It sounds fun though actually because it makes it sound like as you write, you find out more things. I like to write, so it would be fun to learn while writing. And I'm planning on re-reading the chapter, so I can get the actual definition and idea of writing as inquiry. Again, this is just a thought of what I assume writing as inquiry means.
