At the eastern edge of the writer's journey, writers arrive at their Journey's End.

• At this "endpoint," a writer has produced a final draft which gets placed in the audience forum,
• The target audience reads the final draft, and
• The writer assesses whether (or not) the desired consequence is achieved

Also at The Journey's End is another opportunity, the Challenge to Begin Anew. In beginning anew, the writer:

• selects a new writing challenge to explore,
• chooses a target audience to guide (through a particular instance of writing), and
• chooses a desired consequence (for the target audience to achieve).

After all, learning to compose well in a variety of circumstances is a journey for the writer who is always ready to travel.

1. Familiarize yourself with the content of this webpage and its linked webpages.
2. Write a 300-500 word reflective essay in which you explore how that information might apply to the following future situations:
• when you are writing-to-others in a future place of work,
• when you are writing-to-others as a concerned citizen, and
• when you are writing-for-others (your target audience and desired consequence are chosen by someone else—like your boss) in a future job.
3. Submit that essay to your instructor.
