Post #35 – Memoir Writing, Journaling – Amber Starfire
–
This is not a pen, it is a prayer, one must have compassion for that.
~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
When you pick up your pen or place your fingers on the keyboard, whether you’re writing in your journal, writing a letter, or writing a novel or memoir, you spill a little of yourself on the page. And this act of taking what is internal — your thoughts, feelings, hopes, fears, and imaginations — and bringing it into the external world is truly a form of prayer, of meditation. It is a seeking to understand oneself in a way that is greater than one’s self. A putting of self into the context of the world.
