Although I enjoyed the reading this time, I feel like once again, ideas that we should all know. As writers I think there are times when we should use our emotions and some times when we should not. Like if you are writing an article for a newspaper you can't really show any emotion at all.
I really try and push for my emotions to fall out on the page. I believe that's what writing is supposed to do, invoke emotion. Its supposed to be something that someone else has experienced. If that lacks emotion then why would you read it?
I can relate to Ashley's blog about her brother writing about their father. I think personal emotion like that needs to come out and I think her brother needed to get that out. My father died when I was 6, from an aneurysm. This isn't at all close to the pain that Ashley and her brother must have went through, but I choose to write about my father any chance I get. It's like therapy to me. I have a great talent in working with computers, ever since I was very young. But since my father died, I haven't had a strong male presence to talk to. I feel that without writing I would be lost.
