ABSTRACT
Teachers should write so they understand the process of writing from within. They should know the territory intellectually and emotionally; how you have to think to write, how you feel when writing. “Teachers of writing do not have to be great writers, but they should have frequent and recent experience in writing. If you experience the despair, the joy, the failure, the success, the work, the fun, the drudgery, the surprise of writing, you will be able to understand the composing experiences of your students and therefore help them understand how they are learning to write” (Murray, 2004, pp. 73-74).
