I suppose extemporaneous writing assignments might have their place but as a literacy instructor I always take issue when teachers give students these assignments because the wide open space of possibility is often too much to work with for some students. I know (think) you are a teacher as well. It is my feeling that building context at first is the way to begin writing instruction. Although some people flourish with these kinds of tasks, not everyone can write off the top of their head.

If you and T are trying to unravel some feelings you may harbor about your husband, can't you do it in session where someone is there to hold you when you fall apart? Ask her.

If I were your writing teacher I would give you some scaffolding surrounding this assignment. So, for example, I would ask you specific questions about your relationship with your husband that you may (or may not) want to answer. Can you do that for yourself? You shouldn't have to feel bad all alone.

Take gentle care.
