IWSG- No, Husband! You can't read my story!

It's the first Wednesday of the month-- which means it's time for Alex J. Cavanaugh's Insecure Writer's Support Group--

(I know I haven't been blogging lately-- but it's been too nice outside to make time to write AND blog!)

But, onto one of my many (infinite?) insecurities:

I can't, for the life of me, seem to allow my husband to read my stories.  I'm so afraid of his opinion more than anyone else-- Why is that?

I have a ton of CP's -- and he isn't one of them.  Why is it so hard for me to let him read my work?

Am I the only one experiencing this issue?  Gah!

  2. I'll be lucky if I can get my dh to read mine. LOL

    My guess is, you feel that way because he's close to you. It's easier to take criticism from a stranger.

    Great post! :)
    IWSG #118 until Alex culls the list again.

  3. Nah, that's not uncommon. You'r afraid he'll think you're weird or something. I only WISH I could get my husband to read my stuff.

  5. I'm about to face this, and it's really worrying me. I don't know if I can let my Gentleman Friend read my work, because it'll really hurt my feelings if he doesn't like it! :/

  6. Got the same issue with my wife. I rarely (and I mean, rarely) let her read any of my writing. Because of what I write (quirky seriously R-NC17 fiction) I'm very afraid that she'll look at me extremely weird and not in a good light.
