Writing = driving
Writing in college is like driving a car. The most important thing is getting from point A to B, but it helps to know what the route might look like before you start heading in a random direction. There are certain landmarks or signposts that make sure that you are proceeding properly, and there are multiple skills (like employing style, structure, sentence variety, change of tense and mood, parallelism, transition, spelling and grammar) that a newbie might have to juggle one at a time, but which an expert does without hardly noticing. Finally, it is critical to know the rules and be able to abide by them before learning how some things (like perhaps a speed limit in a place where there are no hidden driveways) are perhaps flexible to the driver, er… writer’s benefit.
