The Runny Nose Analogy
You'll be completely stuffed up for 2 days unable to breathe before it starts to run and doesn't stop.
When you're well nothing comes out. But when your sick, it won't stop coming.

The Great Conversation of Humanity
Humanity converses through literature. It is important for writers because even though it is sometimes a one way conversation, conversations can take place completely separate from the original author and his or her time and place.
One conversation: The author is reading things and then commenting on them with her own writing. Another conversation: When she hands in her paper to the teacher and gets it back with marks.
Writing as a Social Activity
Everything you write is for an audience. Everything you write depends on the influence of society. For example, Lindemann quoting Lefevre writes: "Even when writers are acting alone, they are pervasively affected by their relationships to others." The writer receives praise, encouraged to continue.
Creativity is Both Nature and Nurture
Nature means you are genetically predisposed to be creative.
Nurture is the process of capitalizing on your creativity via education, practice, and repetition.
Creativity has no rubric.
The Importance of Revision
Feedback is essential to Nelson's revision process. A writing community fosters feedback.
Writing is recursive.
