Heal the Write Way has opened a completely different door of creativity for me.
As an artist I’ve always looked at objects, landscapes, etc. with the thought of how I would draw or paint them. I would look at the way the light landed on a tree or leaf. I would consider colors, shapes, texture.

Now, as a writer I look at daily experiences and think about how I can describe it later in written format. I think about the smells, the feelings, colors, emotions that I can communicate with the written word.

I feel more confident and thoughtful about the words I choose.

I journal almost every morning now in my morning pages and feel something is missing if I don’t. I thought maybe this would change after completing the course but it has definitely made an impact in my daily life.

I find myself writing thoughts on sticky notes throughout the day to write about later when I have time.

I look forward to continuing the morning pages. Who knows, maybe I’ll finally write a memoir about my adventures in nursing.
