Clark, Romy & Ivanic, Roz. "Writing Processes and Practices." The Politics of Writing (81-106) London: Routledge. 1997

Clark and Ivanic write extensively about the definition of writing.  They make comparisons of the thinking process involved in writing as well as speaking and doing, and the part thinking plays as a requirement to take part in these activities. 

They identify two basic models of writing which include:
Linear - method most taught in schools, and
Recursive - free flowing method that utilizes the writers environment, memory, and process (planning, translation, review and monitoring).  Clark and Ivanic remind us that there is no set sequence to the writing process.
