As I have now argued in three books and countless columns and articles, I believe that we should view our work as writers through the lens of a practice: the skills, knowledge, attitudes and habits of mind of a practitioner.
Gathered together, and working in interrelated ways, it is these elements of a practice that allow us to complete the labor of writing, generating written artifacts that satisfy the requirements of a rhetorical situation involving an audience attached to a need for the writing.
One of the hardest aspects about teaching writing is that one of the key elements of a writer’s practice—habits of mind—is almost impossible to assess from the outside.
