Writing about my breast cancer experience helped me sort a cacophony of emotions. Sifting, organizing, embracing, discarding--it helped me heal. Ultimately, it was my path back to myself--who I am, undefined by disease.
It's also an incredible feeling to have something I've written make somebody laugh, feel comforted or moved. It's the greatest reward.

When I feel blocked it's usually because I don't have a good enough grip on my intention or that I've spent too many hours in my head or that I slept on my face for six hours. Whatever the hurdle, a long walk, an errand, or time with a friend does the trick. It's not just the mental break, it's the physical space break--getting away from the keyboard--that gives me perspective. And many times, I return to the page and say, "There it is! Why didn't I see this before?"
