This study explores how and why writers, both literary and non-literary, are constituted by the genres that they write. Rather than functioning as the primary loci of invention---the source from which writing springs---writers are continuously re-inventing themselves within the social and rhetorical frameworks of the genres that are available to them. These genres shape and enable the ideological and textual environments within which writers enact and reproduce various social practices, relations, and identities. Not simply "kinds" of texts, genres are kinds of social actions and identities, social actions and identities that they rhetorically make possible. When writers write various genres, thus, they do not simply communicate apriori intentions; they acquire intentions through a process of internalizing and enacting the social motives embedded rhetorically within genres. As a result, writing becomes a process of socialization and identity formation, a process by which writers, via genres, locate themselves within and conceptually manage their way through social and rhetorical situations. To write, therefore, is to assume a social identity, a way of being, acting, and relating to others in the world in certain situations. Genres rhetorically embody these situations, serving as the loci of invention, the scenes within which writing takes place and the means by which writers invent themselves within these scenes---the habits as well as the habitats for acting in language. This study takes up the relationship between genre and the writer, demonstrating in theory and with examples from a range of genres, literary and professional, how and why genres rhetorically reproduce the situational motives that writers internalize as intentions and enact as social actions and identities---how, that is, writers act as they are acted upon by the genres that are available to them, and how we can acknowledge this process in order to enrich our study and teaching of writing.
