In his essay‚ “The Importance of Writing Badly‚” Bruce Ballenger encourages students to write freely and to not worry about finding the “perfect way of saying it.” I feel by saying this he means to not worry about what you’re writing and it may not necessarily be perfect‚ but that you write what you are thinking and continue writing even if it’s bad or may not make sense.
