Writing is a practice of empowerment. It allows your voice to be heard. Opinions, ideas, wisdom, and thought processes can all be communicated to others through writing. Writing can be a meaning-making process as well. You can work through personal issues or face controversial topics. Writing has at its core the assumption that the writer's voice - your voice - is valuable. It is, of utmost value.
My hope is that the weekly writing tips help you to share your voice. All of the posts are linked here. When you feel stuck or confused or need a boost, check here and keep writing.
