Purposeful Writing The Wadeye Workshop and Its Basis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 July 2015
Extract
Just as the test of the pudding is in the eating, the test of a piece of writing is how well it accomplishes the purpose for which it was written. If a story is written to entertain, then it is well written just to the extent it does this. On the other hand, we wouldn’t expect a dictionary to be entertaining: it’s purpose is to let us look up information about words. There are a wide variety of purposes writing can serve, and these give rise to different genres of writing.
