In this edition of Write Enjoy Repeat, Justine talks about how she and her schoolmates used to write letters to each other, sharing all the secret, juicy stuff.

Now she likes to write as an outlet for her interior world. As an introvert she finds it a very private and safe way to process things - a safe way to be heard. She also enjoys the creative playfulness of writing.

Justine recommends you try writing because if you’re stuck in ‘not writing’, there’s likely to be a block there, even if you’re not aware of it. She says if you give a bit of free writing a go, “You’ll be surprised by what comes up.”

The prompt from this episode if you fancy trying a piece of writing is ‘Expressing what I couldn’t say out loud...’ Just write those words and keep writing, see what comes. 

 

Justine has several books on the go, but her ‘go to’ for a quick 'part conversation/part rant' read is Caitlin Moran who is a columnist and author. Do get in touch if we've inspired you to pick up a pen either again, or for the first time.
