It was a kind of hobby. Of course, I wrote terrible stuff -- the usual teenage angst and fighting cultural expectations and the end of the world. Thankfully, I can't find any of it anywhere.<br /><br />But it was good for me. I got to experience the slowing down of a soul on a page. Normally, we are simply moving too fast to heal. <br /><br />I carried that into my writing later, without realizing it. Even now, I'm a relatively slow writer. I don't think that's bad. I grow more that way.Cassandra Frearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16564236561567663914noreply@blogger.com
