I haunt a few Memoir Writers Groups on Facebook and discovered many people feel compelled to write because they consider themselves a black sheep and simply want someone to validate and understand them.
Where do writers find them? Is there a secret place? The truths as writers know can be pretty darned messed up. We don’t have to like our truth but we shouldn’t look away from their value. Your reader will appreciate your honesty.
Nothing in my life right now is like it was before. I know this moment is a defining one for many of us. We can use the feelings, visions, fear, happiness, the raw emotion of this time and place for writing novels, memoirs, short stories and poems.
