When I was in graduate school for writing, there was a great deal of talk about “threshold concepts” in writing. Mainly, these conversations were put forth to implore teachers to reflect on their practices and to remember what it was like to be a first-year writing student; never you mind that many teachers and writers struggle with some of these concepts long into adulthood and possibly their entire lives. This includes struggling with the writing process. For this post, we are going to look at embracing threshold concepts and how to think about them as they relate to our writing lives.
