Finally showing my first and most cherished story to a group of constructive peers.
I wrote a story years ago that I am very fond of, but have never been able to force myself to revise, nor have I been bold enough to show to anyone. I did use it twice as a writing sample application though. Once for a writing camp, and the second time, I rewrote the beginning and submitted it in order to get into my creative class. But i have never told anyone about it and asked for suggestions and criticism, until today. I turned very red and started sweating profusely as I tried to summarize the story and failing miserably. But it got better as the members of my peer group asked me questions about things I had left out, allowing me to focus on certain I had already figured out, rather trying to present a cohesive picture in one go. It was very nerve-wracking, but ultimately fruit-bearing as well.
