I'm talking now about personal essay writing, which may or may not be undertaken for the purpose of healing, although many of my personal essay writing students write in their course surveys that they have come to understand themselves better. A good personal essay entertains and informs the reader. The reader gets to know the narrator. I have accumulated over 600 writing topics with prompting questions for my personal essay writing courses. Showing with examples is important to get their points across.
Expressive writing can help people heal emotionally and physically.
It's not enough to complain, though. It's important to write deep thoughts and feelings about stressful events. Well, thank you very much for your time today, Ms. Davis. It's certainly been a pleasure. All rights reserved.
