What do you believe is important about writing?

I believe that writing as well as the practice of sharing it helps to contribute to a world of greater empathy, better human understanding, joyful storytelling, inspired curiosity, and awareness of that which we may never otherwise comprehend.

What do you like about writing — or why do you yourself like to write?

In addition to finding the practice of writing very regulating for my mind and spirit, I feel it meets my need to communicate. Sometimes what cannot be conveyed in one moment of our lives finds its way out in writing. What I find even better is the surprise of discovering something about myself or encountering a new perspective in the writing process which gives me back a sense of meaning, awe, or vitality.
