Sometimes we feel broken, and tired. We wonder what we have to give. But, then and yes, it is during those times if we let it the light get in, the real stuff bubbles up. We're amazed because we're in touch with what's authentic. It's life blooming in its most palpable ways. We FEEL strongly - our senses are all keyed up - and what spills from our pens is nothing short of miraculous.
Book Excerpt
Writing in Community
The point is that cracked and broken as we may be, we still have bells to ring. We do not have to be perfect. In fact, imperfection—the crack in us—is the way in which light can enter our lives. So we as writers must ring our bells, write of our imperfect lives in our imperfect writing styles and offer it up to the world. It is only when we “ring the bells that still ring” and get down to the marrow of things that we come face to face with what really matters, and are able to make a difference—both in our own lives as well as those of others.
