BP2: Research Interests

Writing as a form of being and doing is loaded with options to research. However, what to research, is still a bit of a mystery to me. As I talk through my options, although I probably should be writing my thoughts and any options that come to mind

, one research idea comes to mind. I have interest in researching the connection of writing as a form of being and doing with voice and authority. More specifically, the question that I have considered is, do writers feel they own recreational writing more than academic writing. Are we, as writers, comfortable writing about topics that we don't own? In my mind,writers feel that they aren't contributing to the community of learners on topics or issues that aren't significant in their eyes. Writers in academia write for different purposes. Some share the information that they learned and some write for the passion within them to write. I want to see if there are any issues with voice and authority when a writer is writing on a topic that is external.
