Writing Styles
Anyone who knows me well knows that I absolutely love to write. Poems, short stories, paragraphs that make no sense... I'll write them all.
But my writing style is quite different from others, like my guy friend in TP. He writes fanfiction, and he likes writing action scenes. When he found out that I liked writing too, he asked if he could read my pieces. Of course, I saw no reason to say no.
When I passed my stuff over to him, I started to get more than a little worried. What if he felt that my writing was awful? Would he laugh? Silently mock my writing yet tell me that it was fine? I was starting to regret allowing him to read my pieces.
And yet, the next week he told me that he had read some of my pieces, and he said that even though our writing styles differed greatly, he still thought they were well-written. The look on his face and the tone of his voice seemed genuine, too.
I never thought I would feel so relieved.
