Reflection and analysis of one's own writing and writing processes are key
to not only learning about oneself as a writer, but also to changing oneself
as well. For this assignment, I would like for you to reflect upon your writing
in a letter to me (at least one-page, single spaced). Use block-style format
for your letter. (If you do not know that format, I can show you after class.)
