Turning a feeling into words in an honest and authentic way is not easy. It happens when we least expect it to. It happens whether we want it or not. It happens when our hearts break and we feel angry or passionate, joyful or sorrowful. It happens when we feel. I am not a writer, I am a listener who scribes the footprints of emotions.

I started to hear words and phrases in my mind that seemed to come from somewhere deep inside me. I would hear them, write them down and sit with them, feel through them, ask them if there was anything else and just write. My book is a year of going through that experience and letting my emotions lead the writing and in turn letting the writing be my way of healing through emotions.

Track the sensations in my body, ask myself how I feel, and write from my emotions.

Design your writing around times you feel intensely, not times of day.

I am working on an interactive art installation that brings the poetry of Free to Feel to life in music, movement and art, giving participants a chance to create from emotions.
