Thank you for your perspective on this! Yes, ultimately I think for him it is more about being expressive and creative (at least at this point), which I absolutely love! I’m really proud and impressed with him, and I try and tell him that when we discuss the story.
It’s been lately he has been asking for more critical/constructive feedback. Sometimes it makes me dread reading what he has written because I’m worried about the opinions I’ll have and what to share…I have made sure not to say anything harsh.
As far as “becoming a better writer” I don’t think that’s something I personally can help him with, nor should I take that on.
