Moffett's system definitely works because it helps you get in touch with the voice that is cut off from everyday life. The voice that is hard to acknowledge. The voice that lives inside, dying to come out, but comes out, for me, in the wrong ways. Practicing Moffett's "tutorials" can help you get so acquainted with your own voice inside, you can help discover and create new voices and practice them in her dialogue and monologue "tutorials."
     I have always liked to write, but my problem is how to write. I never knew how to get in touch with myself in order to produce a real piece of writing. Since I've practiced Moffett's 15 minute stream of consciousness writing, I feel I have started to stir something up within me. As difficult and uncomfortable it was at times, I feel as if I have finally got in touch with something that can be used on paper to share with someone.
     There are some great activities that Moffett suggests trying such as, my personal favorite, the composed spontaneous memory activity. I constantly have flashes of very vivid memories and I wish I could share them with someone but I never do because I feel they are uninteresting. Tapping into memories can reveal a lot about ourselves and our lives. Composing a memory piece would be a great thing to do because everyone in a class has something different to being to the table.
     The one activity that I did not particularly think was so effective was the One-Act play. I think this activity could be beneficial to someone who is interested in writing a lot of dialogue and who would like to perform it themselves or have someone else perform it. This to me is a form of advanced form of situational writing. I think writing with the purpose of performance might not be the best type of assignment to give to someone who is a beginner at writing or to a group of children because it could be overwhelming. Screenplay writers and actors could really benefit from this type of activity since this is what they love to do.
    Overall, I feel that Moffett's ideas for becoming a true writer are great and they are worthwhile activities to try. Any or all of the suggested assignments can help people move away from writing being an unpleasant task to an introspective, highly fulfilling thing to do. I believe that practicing Moffett's ideas can strengthen one's desire to write, as well as the craft itself.
