Sometimes we think life just happens to us, and we become victims in our thinking. When we write authentically, we are taking charge, taking responsibility, directing our lives to what we write and share. Writing authentically empowers us and we become more confident and engaged with ourselves and our world.
Book Excerpt
Writing in Community
What this means for writers is that when we live true to ourselves and allow our souls’ expression, something powerful begins to happen: our river, the very juice of our creative existence begins to flow. Submerged words spool out and we feel the first wonderful inklings that what we write is true and good; we are affirmed both as creators and as authentic men and women. Our search for authenticity serves our writing, and oh, happy day, our writing serves our search for authenticity. The centers of our souls stretch for greater expression in every part of our lives, and we can begin to examine more ways in which our worlds can be what we want them to be.
