Share your writing with others to gain perspective from "summary" of Writing with Power by Peter Elbow
One of the most valuable practices a writer can engage in is sharing their writing with others. This act of sharing allows the writer to gain valuable perspective on their work that they may not have been able to achieve on their own. When we share our writing with others, we open ourselves up to feedback and criticism that can help us see our work in a new light. This outside perspective can help us identify strengths and weaknesses in our writing that we may not have been aware of. By sharing our writing with others, we also invite new ideas and insights that can help us expand and deepen our work. Other readers may offer suggestions for improvement or point out areas where our writing could be clarified or developed further. This feedback can be invaluable in helping us to grow as writers and improve the quality of our work. Additionally, sharing our writing with others can help us gain a better understanding of how our work is being received by its intended audience. By getting feedback from readers, we can see how our writing resonates with others and make adjustments to better connect with our audience. This can be especially important for writers who are seeking to communicate a specific message or evoke a particular response from their readers.- Sharing our writing with others can help us to become more skilled and confident writers. By opening ourselves up to feedback and criticism, we can learn from others and continue to grow and develop our writing abilities. Sharing our work with others is an essential part of the writing process, and one that can greatly benefit both our writing and ourselves as writers.
