Sakinah Hofler : How creative writing can help you through life's hardest moments

How creative writing can help you through life’s hardest moments 
Summary 

The story was the worst thing for me and l never do that. It’s to share about myself. 

The speaker tells us that you don’t plan on becoming creative writers, but you break your silence a little. For example, your little regret is that you wanted to say something or to do something, though you couldn’t do it. She said that it’s not difficult. First, to brainstorm and write it down, to focus on three things, and to make time to write it. 

The three stories that she focused on were the things that happened after 9/11, that her friend pulled a gun on her and her boss asked her about her hijab. 

Those were her hardest moments that she didn’t want to acknowledge, though writing down is to record, to be able to capture the memory and to be able to acknowledge its existence. It makes her a natural storyteller.
