Art from Tagxedo

I put my favorite quotes from Donald Gallo’s "The Writing Processes of Professional Authors,” English Journal, 83(5), Sept. 1994,p.55-60, into Tagxedo.

 

 

My favorite quote from the piece  belongs to Richard Peck:

“Nobody but a reader ever became a writer."(58)

 

"...[W]riters revise in different ways. Beverly Cleary, for example, says she races through her first draft, never re-reading her previous day’s work before she moves on. She does not write recursively..."  (59)

 

“Most of what we know about the process of writing has come from writers of
fiction. But most of the writing we require from our students is nonfiction.” (55)
