RE: NOTES FROM AN AMATEUR WRITER #50 - Revisiting Childhood With Storm Boy and Mr Percival

in #writing7 years ago

Writing for me is very cathartic. A lot of what I write about is on similar themes. I do try to blend in the element of entertainment, so as not to be too self indulgent, but it certainly starts as a journal type of writing. Some develop into short stories, or even more humorous pieces. But the main thing is it starts, I get words out of my head - and get stuck emotions and ideas out with it. I think there is a lot of value in that.

Turning ones life experiences into stories is of value for others. Or articles like this one. And those memories that pop up, like you are experiencing can be shining a light on something. Who knows. This particular story intrigued me for the longest time, and re-watching it brought back its powerful lessons for me.

Definitely share. I try to answer all the comments I get here at my blog, or from comments I leave on other's blogs. Hopefully I don't miss any. Thanks for the comment :)

Thanks. I'm beginning to see there are writers here who put efforts into building a community. I will be back.
