It also suggests that writers (with guidance by their instructors and studentsupport services) need to plan time in order for an audience to emerge to the writer as a genuinepresence that can guide and shape their ideas. Because the chart helps writers locate themselvesin their own composing process, in the world of ideas and among a community of readers,writers are less likely to just “fix grammar” on a draft or decide that they “just can’t write.” Witha basic language and a growing sense of the time required to produce a college-level engineeringproject, writers gain a growing sense of “authority” over
