Abstract:

Problem solving is common ground for all the disciplines and fundamental to all human activities. A writer is a problem solver of a particular kind. Writers 'solutions' will be determined by how they frame their problems, the goals they set for themselves, and the means or plans they adopt for achieving those goals.
