The three aspects of the process are felt sense, retrospective structuring and projective structuring. Felt sense is a feeling of what you want to say, part of the process of writing, like an intuition, “does what I’m saying make sense?” “Is this what I really want to say?” Retrospective structuring is the order, organization, paragraph, sentence order and grammar. Retrospective structuring is the connection between language and ideas. Projective structuring is when you put yourself in the audience’s shoes, how they would respond, but not writing from a place of obsession w/ “correctness”.
Felt sense is very important in the writing process because you have to feel what you will be writing about; also you need to have an idea and an understanding of what’s your writing about. Felt sense is very useful in the process of writing because it gives the writer a feeling and an interaction with the writing in the way of understanding everything and saying what’s on your mind.
To me the most useful aspect of the process is felt sense because it is important to feel what you are writing about. Felt sense is my favorite because before putting yourself in someone’s shoes you have to feel the writing, understanding it and getting the ideas of it. Felt sense is with you all the times this is why is important in developing the understanding of your writing before you start writing.
Very good! I think you are absolutely correct--before you put yourself in a reader's shoes, you have to have an idea, a feeling, of what you want to say! If we don't know what to say, there is no point in thinking of a reader yet!
