• As Smith (1988) has pointed out, we write for at least two reasons. First, and most obvious, we write to communicate with others. But perhaps more important, we write for ourselves, to clarify and stimulate our thinking. Most of our writing, even if we are published authors, is for ourselves.

    I have always taught writing first as a tool for learning and then as a tool for communicating that learning to some end for some people. It's nice to see the research support what most of us already knew: that writing is one of the best tools we have for learning and that using it regularly makes you smarter.
