I have thought a great deal about this...the writing and owning of one's own story. And it's been something I've encouraged three people that are near and dear to my heart to do - write their true, authentic, raw story, the way they lived it, the way they felt it, the way they experienced it through their own eyes. There is something liberating, healing, empowering that comes through the writing of ones life with the sweat, blood, and tears of a pen in hand. I hope, truly, that one day they do. I would love to read the words of their lives. There isn't a price you can put on the amazing blessing of connecting to another person's vulnerable soul. I am determined to release my soul into the world through the publication of a collection (or two) of my poetry, and a fictionalized series based loosely on events and people from my life. I haven't quite yet determined if they will hold my own name or my pen name. Perhaps I am not sure if I am ready to be quite so vulnerable and brave as I profess to be. Or perhaps I am not quite sure if I am prepared for the unnamed villains to object.
