This e-text is designed to develop and support healthy writers in and across a variety of personal, professional, and academic contexts. By presenting writing through the holistic, comprehensive, and systematic model of the 8 Aspects of Writing; I hope to help writers see the full variety of possibilities writing can offer. This model can help writers organize and better build on their existing expertise as writers because it provides a system for structuring knowledge while anchoring to an affirmational mindset.
By exploring writing in this more holistic way, writers often find greater value in writing, but also in themselves as they discover their own strengths as writers in areas that may not have been valued previously. After engaging with the ideas laid out in this work, I hope readers come away with a greater vision for everything writing can be in their everyday lives and a greater appraisal of themselves as writers and people.
