"WRITING FOR THE HEALTH OF IT" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Create Write Now's home page now contains a new article on writing benefits. Please check out http://www .createwritenow.com/ to read Anna Quindlen's Newsweek column, "Write For Your Life" -- Wouldn't all of us love to have a journal, a memoir, a letter, from those we have loved and lost? Shouldn't all of us leave a bit of that behind?
While you're there, explore Create Write Now's RESOURCES page which introduces you to many therapeutic writing books and articles.
*GET STARTED WRITE* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A BIG Writing Challenge is deciding what to write about, one of the many symptoms of "Page Fright." This ailment has a cure-- writing, writing and writing. We are way too experienced in living in our heads and writing, a physical exercise, brings us back home to our bodies.
This is how our client Carrie dealt with the "What do I write about?" issue: She was aggravated with Verizon and being without Internet service. She sat down to do a ten minute missive and started out with the question, "Why are people so stupid?" Once she got all her angers, frustrations and what was really bugging her on to the page, she was refreshed and refocused and accomplished several off line goals while awaiting her new modem.
