Writing is scary, because once you’ve written your thoughts down, there is a real possibility that someone might read them. Who of us has not written something, perhaps in a diary, email or text message and found that it was read by the wrong person? Perhaps you sent a message too early, or you sent it to the wrong person.
Yet I have to confess; I have always written. For as long as I can remember, I felt the need to write. “Writing is therapy” – that’s what I used to say to my students. But I am also very much aware, as you are, that writing is also communication.
So, my friend, if you would like to, please come back here from time to time and let’s communicate!
