Why sign up to frayed edges?

I write about all that makes us human, about nurturing our inner creative being. But most of all I write about our frayed edges. Our imperfect perfect being.

Words heal.

My words heal me. And I hope they can sometimes do the same for you.

I share words in English and Dutch but you can choose to only see one of both,

So who am I?

Hello, I’m Manon Huntjens. I am Dutch. And even though at one point I literally left everything behind to find home I had to find out the hard way home is always where we are. But we often spend a whole lot of time running away from it.

It almost took me 4 decades before I found my way back to my pen. Luckily our creativity will never abandon us. It will always be there silently in a corner waiting to be invited back in to come and play.

My greatest influences has been my automatic writing practice that I have been doing religiously for over 3 years now, every single day. Another influence is Julia Cameron and her book The Artist Way.

I write about all that makes us human. being able to feel and think deeply was a curse for a long time. Now my words help others find deeper layers of understanding within themselves.

Show me your humanness. I will show you mine. 🤍
