Today's #WritingMythMonday is the myth that writing is solitary. In reality, writing is social. It's also a good reminder that, as we approach finals week, you can schedule a writing center appointment to talk with us about your writing: https://t.co/BouxYuwG57

Today on #WritingMythMonday we're tackling one of our favorites: The idea that writing knowledge transfers easily to new contexts. In reality, writers have a difficult time transferring writing knowledge when faced with new tasks, even if they've learned similar ideas before.

Today's #WritingMythMonday comes from the work of our own @ElizabethWardle in Bad Ideas About Writing. Can students be taught to write generally or for general audiences? Research says that writing in general is actually impossible. More on the problems with this myth below.

Today's #WritingMythMonday is one that plagues writing teachers everywhere: The belief that standardized tests like the SAT and GRE are good indicators of writing skill or ability. Tests like the SAT are norm referenced and machine scored—more tweets below on why this is problem.

On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we're using @Chastitellez's work to address the myth that we all have to speak the same standard, official American English and that there's only one way to speak good English. English was not America's first language. #WritingMythMonday

You know how writers are always depicted as doing their best work in singular moments of inspiration? Research says that's actually not how writing happens. For today's #WritingMythMonday, tell us how you get your everyday writing done!

Today on #WritingMythMonday, we're giving the biggest side-eye 😒 ever to all the grammar/spell-checker/automated-writing-improvement-type software/apps out there. You know the ones. Are they really helping you write better? Research says probably not! #HCWE #teamrhetoric

On #WritingMythMonday today, we're tackling the myth that, if only you were a good writer, then writing would be easy. In reality, research shows that even the most experienced writers struggle to write. Universally "good writers" simply don't exist! #HCWE #teamrhetoric

Today's #WritingMythMonday is one that many of us have likely experienced: That you're either a natural-born writer, or you're just inherently bad at writing. Believing that you're an inherently good or bad writer hides the truth that writing is always taught and learned!

Today's #WritingMythMonday is often referred to as the "inoculation" myth around the HCWE! Research says that students need more than one class (in fact, even experienced writers need time and practice!) to learn how to write well in college. Have you ever fallen for this myth?

A closer look at some of these solitary writers. What do you do to help teach writing as social? #WritingMythMonday

Today on #WritingMythMonday we’re talking about what really makes writing good. It can be tempting to think that perfect grammar is the ultimate key, but, in reality, good writing is dependent on the context. Grammar, style, and mechanics are just one small part. #teamrhetoric
