So very apt for me right now, deep in the dark heart of memoir, examining, exposing, contextualising my dysfunction and bringing light to it and peace to myself. A lot of it is self-therapy I suppose, but how powerful it is becoming. Thank you for refocusing my writing with these powerful quotes. x
Hi Pauline – very glad you're still immersed in it! It sounds like an important project, so I'm also glad it's bringing some peace. I think that writing as therapy is significant – I wrote a series of columns and articles for MsLexia a few years back on this. Look after yourself too. Rx
Thank you, Roselle! It’s a joy to read those words. What strikes me after several years of writing fiction and poetry, is that change isn’t static. I need to remind myself that the dark places don’t feel safe but they probably/possibly are. Marg

Ah Marg thank you for your comment. And yes, I like 'change isn't static'!. xx
