Katelin, I found this be an excellent original piece of creative writing. I totally get what you mean about the difficulty of trying not to be generic, however, I think through your own creative exploration you managed to avoid that well. Your choice of phrasing was quite excellent and added genuine emotion to your character. I particularly loved the choice of phrasing with “bear Robert a child”, this really cemented the idea that producing a child was the job of a wife. I found it hard to fault your writing so instead of faulting it I’d recommend maintaining that genuine emotion in your characters for your future writing. Awesome work!
