Jane Bissell Writing
What's on the Blog?
When you don't know what to write about, write about the weather.
The vagaries and whims of the weather can provide us with one of the best writing kick starts I know. I often begin a journal entry with the day's atmospheric conditions as my 'way in' to the writing I want to do. Call it a warm up, a setting of the scene, the opening of a door to more.
From personal experience...
... I know that writing can heal.
In 2001, I was told I had breast cancer.
I kept a daily journal while going through it.
The daily practice of showing up to journal helped me cope and get through, as did the writing of my two books.
Since then, as Jane Bissell Writing New Zealand, I have used my experience of trauma, challenge, recovery and achievement, to support others in the writing of their own life journeys.
I can help you write.
My personal life experiences, and proven ability to help others write and publish their stories, makes me an effective, collaborative, and trustworthy partner for your writing project.
