When the Going Is Good: Implications of "Flow" and "Liking" for Writers and Tutors.

Leahy, Richard

Writing Center Journal, v15 n2 p152-62 Spr 1995

Emphasizes the importance of paying attention to how writers feel about their writing as well as what they think about it. States that textbooks deal with writers' feelings incidentally. Defines "flow" as being the opposite of writer's block. Defines "liking" and its implications for a writer's work-in-progress. Asks whether "flow" and "liking" always apply. (PA)
