There’s a reason some stories don’t get told… they’re messy, emotional, and often come with more questions than answers. But here’s the thing: those are the stories that change lives.
Welcome to Week 1 of “Writing on the Edge,” where we’re diving straight into the deep end with “Introduction to Writing About Sensitive Topics” because writing truthfully isn’t always comfortable, but it is powerful.
Whether you’re writing about trauma, injustice, abuse, corruption, or identity, there’s a way to do it with courage, clarity, and care. In this session, I walk you through how to begin the process of writing about the hard stuff without becoming overwhelmed or losing your voice.
