Why Writing Matters to Me

By Pam McCombs

Writing helps me keep my thoughts from running wild.

Writing helps me stay in touch with my family.

Writing helps me put everyday events in perspective.

Writing helps me survive this chaotic world.

Writing helps me share my thoughts with others.

Writing helps me laugh, 

cry, 

scream! 

RAGE! 

Smile, 

Wonder . . .

Writing helps me teach others to do all these things.
