We also found a piece of text from a book called Savannah by the Sea written by Denise Hildreth. Featuring our word begrudgingly not once but twice!

Now we ask you to use this word to inspire a piece from you...

emotion writing

Have you ever been in one of those stressed out, confused, angry moods when you feel like you could explode at any given moment? well if you have, it may not seem like a great time for writing but really, it is!
writing can be a great way to release some pressure or say something your too afraid to say aloud, here are some ideas;


-write a letter to someone telling them what you really think (i don't suggest sending it)
-write a poem to express your emotions
-design some powerful word art
-or if none of these seem appropriate, then just start writing, your head may not know what your feeling but your heart will, spill your emotion onto paper and not only could you create a good piece of writing but it can also help you understand yourself.
