Writing

Another coping skill I use is writing.  I really enjoy journaling, blogging, writing poetry and writing a monthly newsletter.

I participated in a program through the University of Iowa called, “The Patient Voice Project.”  This program paired someone with a chronic illness and a student at the Writers’ Workshop.  

I met some very fine people through this program.  I also learned a lot about poetry.

If you would like more information about my writing projects, you can email me:  uihawkeyes777@gmail.com.  Or you can visit my site:  www.markthepoet.com.
