I found myself nodding my head in agreement all the time, Nicole. Never heard of HyperWrtiting and it's origin. I also find writing meditative. Although I wouldn't publish my diary ;) It really can act as a cleansing. The power of writing is unbelievable. Looking inside is tough but worth it.

Love the idea of writing with your heart first and then with your head. Bookmarked this and will refer to it soon.
