It is often my struggles and challenges where I have been able to make it through due to my ability to write and articulate. Writing is a solace for me during turmoil. In fact, it was during one of these moments in which I wrote and published my first book. "Looking Back, then Moving Forward!"

I quite often feel like this if I can't write for whatever reason.

It enables me to take stock in my life and be able to express and share my inner turmoil with a twist of humor.

I have been writing for so many years that I can't think of writing as "a need." I write every day with very few exceptions, so writing is as much a part of my day as having breakfast. Given that "self-actualization" refers to being aware of yourself, my medical situation keeps me quite actual.Alan'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072541060045333392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110107012766586348.post-2006838006265599542013-08-10T07:36:38.124-07:002013-08-10T07:36:38.124-07:00Writing defines who I am, however life often gets ...Writing defines who I am, however life often gets in the way of living (or in my case writing). Some might say that is an excuse, but in reality there is one thing I've learned about writing; when my mind is overburdened the clarity to see past that and create is overshadowed by life itself. Therefore I have to say that as far as what I deem most important in order of needs, I would have to say peace and security within my own life; after that all things fall into place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110107012766586348.post-70906044300982553632013-08-10T07:03:04.089-07:002013-08-10T07:03:04.089-07:00Hi Robyn,

I think we writers write whether we want to or not. Sometimes it's on paper but other times it's in our minds.LK Wattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09366991733427612418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110107012766586348.post-5302293758222359932013-08-09T16:21:05.031-07:002013-08-09T16:21:05.031-07:00Writing has come late to me.

When my mother became bed-bound and terminal, I stopped writing for two years. I found I thought in stories the entire time. I would see something and instantly in my head I'd start composing the words to express my thoughts and feelings.<br /><br />I am fortunate to have all my primary and secondary needs met. Writing is not my life, but I feel less fulfilled when I am not writing.<br /><br />I don't know that this has answered your question, but it has clarified a few things for me. :-)<br /><br />RobynRuminations of Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05450382256944005462noreply@blogger.com
