520    "We intend this work to be less a bestiary of bad ideas 
       about writing than an effort to name bad ideas and suggest
       better ones. Some of those bad ideas are quite old, such 
       as the archetype of the inspired genius author, the five-
       paragraph essay, or the abuse of adjunct writing teachers.
       Others are much newer, such as computerized essay scoring 
       or gamification. Some ideas, such as the supposed demise 
       of literacy brought on by texting, are newer bad ideas but
       are really instances of older bad ideas about literacy 
       always being in a cycle of decline. Yet the same core 
       questions such as what is good writing, what makes a good 
       writer, how should writing be assessed, and the like 
       persist across contexts, technologies, and eras. The 
       project has its genesis in frustration, but what emerges 
       is hope: hope for leaving aside bad ideas and thinking 
       about writing in more productive, inclusive, and useful 
       ways."--Introduction.
