"Writing is powerful but it can also be terrifying."
I found this quote in Pinterest. Thought I don't remember who said it I can identify with it. The terrifying part sticks with me. I have written about topics that never brooched.
I have experienced dark periods in my life. I wrote about fear, abandonment, transition, sex, beauty standards, and the crossroads I was at. What I discovered much later was that it was the best writing I had done.
Edgar Allan Poe is my favorite author because he could write about dark subjects with such clarity. Confronted with the darkness, I search for the light. Now I write about those zubjects that are uncomfortable.
Writing is not a linear craft. I have grown much as a writer and poet. I'm still being challenged-and I need that.
