"paying more attention to the heart of telling the story more so than merely writing the story." Yes indeed, this is where the real storytelling comes into play. Once the floodgates are broken, there's no stopping you, and it is so liberating, that it's almost unbelievable. Once you can release your feelings in your writing in this kind of way, you feel like there's nothing in this world you can't do. I can't wait to read your entries girlfriend. Good luck Audrey :-) - [BTW - I LOVE the butterfly pic!]
