Writing for Wellbeing

The last two lines of your piece are pure gold

Spending the morning with poetry, which is, if we are honest, the best way.

Robert Frost

‘You know, we don’t need to be original or inventive. You don’t need to find new things. Just take the old things you find about you, the things people have known all their lives, and say them with your style.’
– Robert Frost

There was a moment when I changed from an amateur to a professional. I assumed the burden of a profession, which is to write even when you don't want to, don't much like what you're writing, and aren't writing particularly well. (Agatha Christie)

Oh joy! It's Large Boulder the Size of a Small Boulder day!

“I used to think I wrote because there was something I wanted to say. Then I thought, ‘I will continue to write because I have not yet said what I wanted to say’: but I know now I continue to write because I have not yet heard what I have been listening to.”

The word CREATIVITY spelled out in different colours, surrounded by coloured pencils

“Creativity is a great motivator because it makes people interested in what they are doing. Creativity gives hope that there can be a worthwhile idea. Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone. Creativity makes life more fun and more interesting.”
― Edward de Bono
