This spoke to me today. It caused me to think back over the years.
If we’re doing it right, we’re being our most authentic selves in writing. Often we uncover (or remember) who that is as we write.
One of my most healing times was when I joined my Colorado critique group, and I’m pretty sure this is what was going on. They gave me the confidence to be my most authentic self. And it was fun. As time passed, I got stronger.
What about you? What healing have you experienced through writing?
The good news is that there’s always more healing available as we come back to the page. No matter what stage of life we’re in, there’s always more to explore.
Keep writing. Keep moving forward. We need to know what you discover because that just might be the thing that unlocks something in us.
You are desperately needed in this world and your voice and your perspective matters.
