Lesson 13.1: Consulting Others

Consulting another person on my work has always been a hard task for me. While I have been a writer for quite awhile, I am still very shy about my writing, because I think a lot of it is subpar. Although I have been told that I am a good writer, I still feel like i have a lot of work ahead of me. So I was understandably nervous when I consulted my friend, who has a bachelor's degree in creative writing, to look at my work. There are a lot of similarities betweenc reative writing and academic writing, because grammar, syntax, spelling, it's all the same thing from the same language.

My friend is a good, kind person, however. And he gave me a lot of feedback very quick, which allowed me to revise my essay and complete lesson 13. Although he was critical about my work, he was also constructive about it too. he is also a guy who has a lot of experience writing outside of academics, because he maintains a blog that he makes an entry to every day, so he is definitely a person who can be trusted and could be considered an authority on English, so going to him for advice was definitely be a good choice.
