When people ask me why I like writing, I tell them it’s because I can express myself more authentically than by speaking out loud. Writing allows me to articulate my feelings of joy, awe, compassion, sorrow – all of my thoughts – in a way that feels right and true and genuine.
In that spirit, I invite you to write. Share your joy, your awe, your sorrows, your stories. Link to your blog in the comments, and respond to the work of fellow writers.
