title: A Tattered Maps Tale
author: Jennifer L Bruursema
description: A little about me I have been writing a long time. And up to now, I have shared this part of my life with only those who I felt could safely hold my secret. But 12 months ago, I was seated across the table from a dear friend and fellow writer who wondered  maybe your writing is not just for you, maybe its for those whose voice awaits words? For the first time, I actually believed that perhaps all these whispers, mumbles, screams, purrs, sobs, giggles and sighs might have a place outside of my blinking screen and dusty mailbox. So, here you have me and a hundred or so moments that might be you, too. If one of them find their way in, let me know. Its good to feel the power of two. Its good to feel youre not alone. Its good to feel the light. On Facebook, Linkedin, Skype On Gmail: bruursemajennifer0@gmail.com
