I can just imagine this author hanging out with Lois.
"Storytelling is healing. As we reveal ourselves in story, we become
aware of the continuing core of our lives under the fragmented surface of
our experience. We become aware of the multifaceted, multichaptered 'I' who
is the storyteller. We can trace out the paradoxical and even contradictory
versions of ourselves that we create for different occasions, different
audiences.... Most important, as we become aware of ourselves as
storytellers, we realized that what we understand and imagine about
ourselves is a story. And when we know all this, we can use our stories to
heal and make ourselves whole."
~Susan Wittig Albert~
_Writing From Life_
Is it any wonder she's one of my acid-test authors? Even if you never
write a word, this book majorly rocks, for the questions it inspires you to
ask and the thoughts it inspires you to think. I've been enthusiastically
recommending it all over, since I first read it last year.
Enjoy!
