Maybe you grew up believing your words would never be enough, and hated the ever-present red pen.  Maybe it told you you didn’t have what it takes, and that life is better focused elsewhere…who said writing was worth the headache?

What the red pen taught us was well-intended.  Yes, grammar and punctuation matter…But it is entirely possible to beat all of the passion and creativity out of a writer with a red pen!  We call this “the trauma of the red pen.”

THERE IS MORE. 

More than correctness.  More than rules followed. 

More than writing to be evaluated.  How about…

WRITING AS WELLNESS?         WRITING AS EMPOWERMENT?          WRITING AS JOY?

Oh, yes–it’s possible!
