In time of universal deceit-telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
-George Orwell
Orwell was a journalist, and he touched on many hot political topics of his time (1903-1950).
Best known for two novels Animal Farm & 1984, he reminds me of the Quote on the 1st day: "The role of the writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say"-Anais Nin"
This excites me - my desire has been especially lately to speak out for those of us who have to passively sit by and listen to ourselves being described by people who do not even know us! I pray that I write truth & that I can learn to write it skillfully.
Some of us want to know the truth, yet some of us would rather live in a fairytale which is kind of an escape from reality. I too want to write truth and learn to write it skillfully. My goal is to touch that heartfelt need in the reader's life and invite them to know truth from what I've experienced and learned. There is freedom in knowing the truth and how it fits in your life and circumstances. Let's keep writing!
