Abstract
In this chapter we reflect on writing qualitative research on practice. We do this by distilling from previous chapters the essential richness and diversity of enacting and celebrating the act of writing. We identify key features of writing and demonstrate that the process of qualitative writing generates valuable by-products, particularly growth and development. In the very act of writing we are able to learn many things: about our subjects, the writing process itself and, importantly, about ourselves.
