Creative writing
is a way of dipping into our vast well of experience and understanding
which is bound up in our imagination and subconscious. The secret
is not to think too much. The emphasis is not on getting something
right but on becoming more self-aware.

"I
became a writer out of desperation... When I was young, younger
than I am now, I started to write about my own life and I came
to see that this act saved my life"
Jamaica Kincaid,
My Brother
