What Writing Means to Me
by B. McIntosh
What inspires you write? A young lady recently asked
me this question.
How can I describe something that is so much a part
of me?
To me a blank piece of paper is a challenge.
I view it as an artist views a canvas or a sculptor
views a block of wood.
I imagine it filled with my thoughts, ideas and feelings.
I write as a way of expressing my emotions.
My writings sometimes take the form of poems.
They reflect whatever emotion I'm feeling at the moment-
happiness, sorrow, anger, hurt, depression, joy…
When I'm finished writing I usually feel better about
whatever I was going through.
Also, I have a memento to look back at, reflect on,
and share with someone else.
So I encourage you to write… and of course send
some of your writings to be published in Girl Talk.
