Writer's Block: The Cognitive Dimension (Studies in Writing and Rhetoric)

Mike Rose's "Writer's Block" is a groundbreaking study that uncovers the hidden dimensions of this common yet least studied problem in writing.

With a three-faceted approach, Rose identifies writers experiencing both high and low degrees of blocking, examines their composing processes through stimulated recall, and proposes a cognitive conceptualization of writer's block and the composing process.

By delineating cognitive errors that cause blocking and discussing practices and strategies that promote effective composition, Rose provides a comprehensive understanding of this complex issue.

This reissue includes a new preface by the author, detailing his approach to studying writer's block and how it would be different if conducted today.
