A Cure for Writer's Block: Writing for Real Audiences
By: Anne Rodier
Publication:
The Quarterly, Vol. 22, No. 2
Date: Spring 2000
Summary: By reconstructing a dialogue with one of her students, Rodier supports her belief that "if your writing has no possibility of . . . reaching a real audience . . ., then there will be no investment in the work."
