Habits of the Creative Mind

A unique resource for first-year composition, Habits of the Creative Mind encourages college writers to be curious and follow their own paths in order to discover their own interests. Portable and flexibly arranged, the second edition of this innovative text offers frameworks to develop persistence in planning, revising, and learning from failure, with all new examples of writers at work on interesting problems as models for reflection. With input from instructors who use Habits, a new instructor's manual provides practical suggestions for incorporating this approach to exploring questions and facing complexity.
