p. 304:
“everyone, however inexperienced or unskilled, has real voice available; everyone can write with power.”
“Nothing stops you [from writing]…but your fear or unwillingness or lack of familiarity with what I am calling your real voice.”
p. 305:
frequent freewriting is best way to overcome fear and other conditions
THOUGHTS: man, this chapter in this book is really less articulate and less thought-out than Elbow’s later works. It is more didactic, less theoretical, and frankly, feels less authoritative; perhaps it is because it feels so 1960’s “free.” Compared to his other works, this seems very uninspiring.
