RE: Maricia: A Mother
My VP finally rose to 0.02 this week....
You nail it: The great thing about writing is that it's better than therapy. We can take events from our lives and mold them, so they work for us.
The truth is best told in the guise of fiction - my motto, my manifesto!
I hope someone else didn't come up with the same phrase. -_-
I think it's a great motto. Fiction not only gives us cover, but it also allows us to represent emotional events symbolically... which I think enhancing self-awareness. Also raises the experience to a universal level (for readers).
Art is great for that too. Even better, sometimes. Different parts of the brain give more intuitive expression (I think!)
More quotable quotes from @agmoore2 - I need to do a post on this!!!
