Watch now | Creative writing's path to self-recognition. There's a moment in writing when the world cracks open. Not with the thunderous drama of revelation, but with the quiet gasp of recognition. As a New York Times bestselling author and writing teacher these two decades, I've witnessed this countless times - writers pause mid-sentence, their voices catch, and tears welling up as they read work they themselves created.
The ultimate act of mothering. I can't even in my wildest imagination imagine a mother who sees me for who I am. That's something to really consider--can I do for me what hasn't been done?
That is one of the most compelling reasons to write as full a scene as possible. To tell the whole truth that lives (and waits) beyond one’s ideas and thoughts about the truth.

Yes, you can! I believe in you. Every word you write is bringing you closer and closer to that place.
This is beutiful. Scene writing as the ultimate act of mothering. ❤️
So so so true!
