Do you know why I started writing for young readers?

They started out as bedtime stories for my oldest daughter, specifically to encourage her not to lie or disobey at around age four. Soon they became these long, adventurous things I had to share with others. They were cathartic for my mom heart.

You should write, too. There are lots of forms, and often writing can release creativity, help you get organized, or get out those emotions you’re holding in. Can you say freedom? It can be something to keep your home and happiness high, like a pet without the maintenance. 😊

Check out some options below and try it out. You may just find that you love it!

Hand write your shopping or to do list – organize your thoughts and feel great about crossing them off!

Journaling – Creatively tell about what you see and feel, and make it a healthy habit daily or weekly

Write quick little poems – there are dozens of formats or just free hand it. This is cathartic, a creativity release, and an emotional outlet.

Short story or creative non-fiction – longer versions of poetry with the same benefits.
