Читать книгу Meaningful Living Across the Lifespan - Moses N. Ikiugu - Страница 37

The occupation of writing led to a sense of fulfilment for the worker-writers (Ikiugu et al., 2012), resulting from the exploration and creativity used in storytelling, and the subsequent sense of being recognized for this creative endeavour, through performance in a workshop reading, or for instance as symbolized by the book being placed on the shelves of a community bookshop. Writing from personal experiences also led to self-discovery and development of a kind of authenticity. An additional and significant element of fulfilment often arose from the process of making publications as a group and experiencing acknowledgment of these books in the community (Morley & Worpole, 2009).
