83095, RE: BOARD PARTICIPATION REQUIRED: WHY DO YOU WRITE? Posted by daniemuse, Sat Nov-07-09 05:40 PM
As a child I was to be seen and not heard, so I wrote. I wrote to hear my voice, silently reflected back to me on pages. I wrote to dream up alternate realities where I was strong and fearless, where my life was without boundaries. I wrote fantasies of faith in my talent until I actually believed it. I continue to write to be heard, because to be heard is to be TRULY seen.
Note: I've been absent from the boards for quite a while and didn't know where to start reconnecting. Thanks for this post - it made me feel welcome again.
