A Note to Writers
from Karen
“For some, the first hurdle is understanding that the term ‘writer’ applies to them. When we ponder or imagine, design, or question, we're writing.
The text may be for a project at work, images and words on social media, or even a letter to loved ones. It may also be a more private, self-directed form of writing such as journaling, which can be especially productive and consequential for the writer. In many cases, journaling leads a writer to shift their inward focus to an outward audience.
In all of these writing scenarios and more, people are making sense of and articulating to themselves or others their area of expertise, thoughts, dreams, plans, memories and more. For audiences of all kinds and writers who reach out to them, Dream. Draft. Deliver. can help.”
