Misinterpretation of Projective Structuring


I feel Sondra Perl’s description of the misinterpretation of projective structuring by writers is important. This is because often writers feel pressured and contort their ideas to comply with the feelings of their readers. Writers sometimes misinterpret projective structuring and begin writing within certain rules. Perl explains that although the rules of writing are important, they can often create writer’s block and limit the writer’s potential and thinking. The writer begins writing to please his readers and avoid expressing his/her thoughts.
 I have always been against this sort of writing. I believe limiting someone’s style of writing and his/her thoughts is cruel, because not everyone thinks the same way. And the differences in our opinions/thoughts are what make us who we are. I personally would not like writing/thinking what someone else wants me to write/think. I am capable of making my own thoughts and I like expressing them through writing. People can differ from the way I think, and that is their right to differ from my opinions but I would not change my thinking/writing to please other people.
