October 14 at 1 p.m. EST/10 a.m. PST - Interactive Discussion: The Case for Navel Gazing

What is navel gazing in writing? It is defined as the activity of spending too much time considering your own thoughts, feelings, or problems. In my experience as a writing instructor, navel gazing is more of a problem not because writers do it but because the fear of doing it makes their writing less effective. What critics fail to recognize is there is a difference between a diary entry and a piece of writing that is crafted for the reader. In this interactive discussion, we will examine why when our writing lacks emotional depth, the work is what suffers.
