Writing a story helps me to discover who I really am.

I was initially like that woman in your opening paragraph - my goal was to write to be published and didn't see the point if that goal wasn't achieved. However, I too have discovered (and increasingly so) what Nouwen wrote - we write to discover ourselves and God.<br /><br />I love that Nouwen quote - I've read a lot of his works but not sure if I've read that quote before. What book of his is it from?<br /><br />Thank you for a tremendous post.Ian Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192687613923596829noreply@blogger.com
