Stacey Anwin had always been enchanted by words. From an early age, she drew on the power of the written word whenever and wherever she needed it—until her connection with this power was lost. The Writing Project recounts Stacey’s strategic attempts to recover her lost personal writing practice through writing experiments. In doing so, she regains her voice to speak about domestic abuse. Stacey shares the strategies, tools, and methods she draws on to overcome complete creative writing block, with samples of the pieces produced as she reconnects with her writing self. She demonstrates the possibilities offered by a personal writing practice, where writing is a way of thinking, creating, resolving, exploring, reinventing, healing and much more.

Dr Stacey Anwin has an eclectic background encompassing a variety of cultures, languages, and academic disciplines. She grew up in a dysfunctional family where her fundamental worth and her need for safety were denied; where any natural expression of emotion was met with threats or violence; where senseless lies, blame-shifting, gaslighting, and ridicule fractured her sense of self. She promotes personal writing as a powerful agentic method.
