Composing Addiction: A Study of the Emotional Dimensions of Writing Processes

Patty Wilde

Abstract

Situated in disability studies, this article shares the results from a qualitative research project that examined how three community college students who wrote about addiction navigated the process-based activities assigned in their first-year writing courses. These findings illuminate how such exercises evoke a spectrum of emotion that shapes both process and product.
