The big reveal
Put together my first essay writing life shop: Secrets of Personal Essay Writing. Been taking classes myself for years, been published in some good publications, been thinking about doing this for awhile.
So, now it’s done.
At first I resisted writing essays until a friend described them as “conversations” with a friend. The best ones read and sound like an intimate talk, the kind where you reveal yourself, like you do with a good friend.
Holding back, being afraid of revealing yourself makes it impossible to write something worth reading. I like to get things off my chest, because if you keep them on your chest they weigh you down like a concrete block. Your soul just keeps sinking to the bottom of whatever your wallowing in.
What can you reveal today?
