Takes Petrosky (“Review”) to task for misreading her text book. Defends her work as “fostering the experience of discovery, of listening to readers, of reseeing one's own ideas” for a more self-conscious, problem-solving approach to writing (96). Recommits to heuristics in that writing is not a rule-governed act. Sees her cognitive approach as a strategic approach to writing, one offers writers “power” that comes from an awareness of one's own thinking processes and a sense of options.
Not necessarily useful for this paper, but interesting as she defends herself against the most vocal attack on her first textbook utilizing this cognitive approach.
