Refering to your own writing with in a paper

"This writer is consistenly and framatically conscious of herself, forming something to say out of what has been said and out of what she has been saying in the act of writing this paper"

I found this to be the most crutial point Bartholomae had to make on 'good' writing. When reading the essay he is refering to, I found it dramatically different than the previous one's. It had a complete a sense of flow that the others seemed to lack. Some showed this at times, but none through out like this one. I like how it referenced itself, none of the other did that.

I felt this essay had flow because it went through a process of thought. It didn't just say what creativity was, it explored what it is, and gave different view points before making any sort of definition of creativity.

I learned a great deal on writing with a 'voice' from reading this essay. I could see how my writing would improve by useing similar techniques to this essay. I reference myself at times, but I still feel it is too systematic at times.
