If you are a
writer like me or you are attempting a writing project, what happens when your mind
wanders or you have writer’s block? What do you do? Well, you can give yourself
creative writing prompts, even if it is just to get started. Of course, you
could start with your lexicon by flipping the pages or writing down words that
you see. You could write a letter to your child abuse offender or you could write
a letter to the 40 year old child abuse survivor that you want to be.
The Letter From The 8 Year Old Child
Within
It could
probably begin like this:
I was only
eight years old when you molested me and yet at age 32, I am still reliving the
experience almost every day. I remember the barn outside and the chair that you
put me to sit on as you vehemently tore off my clothes. The chair legs were a
little shaky and I had to hold on so I wouldn’t fall off. I heard the owls
outside so I knew it was late when you took me from my bed and carried me over
the meadows. No one heard you because they were all asleep. I panicked that
night because I was really so afraid and called out your name to stop, but I
saw that wild look in your eyes and knew that my screams were futile. Your
heavy breathing still haunts me and I cringe once more at the thought of it. I
never could figure out what your thoughts were to want to seduce a little girl
who you called your niece. I still haven’t told mom. Your doting sister would
probably not believe me anyway as you so confidently told me that night and I
believed you. For all these years, I hung on to the words that were shouted menacingly
in the dark at me, “If you tell anyone, I will kill you.”
The Creativity
Do you see
how creative this can become? I could do a lot with this story now. Of course,
you probably wouldn’t write about such tough and difficult topic. At least,
most people don’t want to, but did you know that child sexual abuse is still
rampant in our society? And did you know that even if you turn a blind eye, you
will be a part of the problem and not the solution? Yes, while you might not
think so, it is true.
My Responsibility
As a writer,
I have a responsibility or at least have taken on the responsibility to tell
the stories, even if I have to create the characters, but my personal story was
not make belief because it happened to me in real life, but for that 8 year old
little girl who may still be going through this terrible experience, will you
help me to spread the word against child sexual abuse? I am depending on you.
You don’t have to be a writer. I will take care of that part for you. All I ask
is that you spread the word. I have written a story that you might love to
read, “The Man in The Shadows: He Touched Me
Where It Hurt.”

others about it and my hope is that it will get in the hands of the right people.
