What I Learned About Myself Through Writing

CreateWriteNow is pleased to host Rita Pomade and her personal story of how writing has helped her learn who she was, as part of her WOW-WomenOnWriting Blog Tour.

I would never fully know myself if I didn’t write. It’s the mirror that reflects back to me who I am. My early journals and poetry going back 50 years are a record of who I was and how I’ve evolved over a lifetime. I don’t often look at them, but when I do, I’m reminded again of my journey. I see the core of me that is constant, and the changes in perception as I grow older. Some of the material is fodder for another memoir.
