Van Klompenburg, Carol J.

Comments from the author about writing: Beside my desk is my writing credo. Writing is a vital and vibrant part of

• my identity

• my wellbeing

• how God wired me

• how I give back to him

I write every day by

• reading

• listing

• organizing

• freewriting

• drafting

• editing

• proofreading

I structure my life to nurture writing by

• organizing

• simplifying

• eliminating

• collaborating

I write

• to heal

• to learn

• to create

• to share

I don't always live up to this, but it provides a beacon.
