This morning I shared my writing with my husband. We were
both pleasantly surprised because we had unexpected reactions. He first had
explained how he had never seen me write like this before. He is used reading
more of a technical and analytical writing style. He liked how it was story and
how he could follow along. He said he could actually see the story happening
because of my word choice. Since he is my husband he knows how I am when it
comes to dieting and exercise. He said by reading my excerpt of my piece he
could understand my thoughts more and see how I play out different situations
in my mind. After he finished reading my piece he wanted to know if I was going
to keep going with it. I was excited to hear that he liked it enough he wanted
me to finish. We talked about how writing can be beneficial not only to authors
but writers. Writing this personal essay has helped me to understand me own
feelings and thoughts on things that matter most to me. I am glad I was able to
share this writing with someone who cared about me because it made me
understand that writing is a strong power than most people know.
This is really cool. It's interesting how your perception of writing changes when you actually know the author. That's really awesome that your husband could give you feedback since he was already familiar with your story.
