The Inspired Writer Vs The Real Writer Summary

Readers and Writers
Many people seem to be under the influence that if your a writer, everything that comes to their mind or everything english related that they do seems to come out perfect due to the a myth of perfect english skills that doesn't even exist, not even for the best of writers. In ‘The Inspired Writer vs. The Real Writer’ Sarah Allen claims how there is a difference between the two. She says that the inspired writer doesn't really exist but the real writer does but with that real writer comes its struggles too. L. Lennie Irvin also agrees with Allen by also talking about academic writing . In the article ‘What is Academic Writing?’ Irvin states the true meaning of what real academic writing is. One key part that they state is

Not only are they focused on writing but also as they read. Mike Bunn in ‘How to Read Like a Writer’ he states some skills to reading like a writer.

In contrast to personal writing contexts, academic writing is different because it deals with the underlying theories and causes governing processes and practices in everyday life, as well as exploring alternative explanations for these events. Academic writing follows a particular ‘tone’ and adheres to traditional conventions of punctuation, grammar, and spelling”(Massey ¶1). Already with this we are able to see that writing is used in almost anyone's life at some point and it contexts throughout life. The only difference is how academic writing has does more things than what personal writing does and like said before it has its own rules that it follows for the writing to progress smoothly. If we next move into the article by Irvin, ‘What is Academic Writing’ he starts by giving us a few myths about writing. To some people writing can be a challenge and when that happens they begin to believe in myths or have begun to think that they can't ever be as good as the “Inspired Writer”.
