A collection of inspirations, examples, problems, and solutions from the work of Writing Assessment Services (www.writingassessment.com). The acronym WrAsSe is the name of a little fish that cleans other fish and keeps them healthy, as Writing Assessment Services can do for student writers. The rest of the blog name is an affectionate bid for a connection to the Inklings, C.S. Lewis's group of writing friends. Please join me to "wrestle" with the challenges of writing and teaching.

Whence This Quote?
I'm reading a book right now with this fun line:
"Feather-footed through the plashy fen passes the questing vole."
Can you identify it? I'll reveal the source later. Hint: the copyright is 1937.

Evelyn Waugh?
JK. I Googled it but it certainly is a lovely thing to say.
