Donald Murray definitely swayed my mind , he made me feel so much as I was reading. I related alot because I use writing as therapy as well, everytime I feel extremely sad or extremely happy I write it down. I feel like those kind of feelings are the ones I just like to take in deeply and not share with anyone . Also everytime I obsess over something I immediately write about it and then turn it to a fictional story and write about made up characters feeling what I feel with a plot twist. This reading made me feel connected to him in our writing techniques , I connect alot of my writing to my real world problems or ideas .
Jacqueline, I love how you made the personal connection to the Donald Murray piece. It sounds like you really do agree with him, at least in your writing, and turn what you write into autobiographical pieces! Thanks!
