A place where you can be human.
✨A poem ✨
A million cliffs and
leaps into the monster’s mouth
sandwiches
under the sun
Some people don’t make it
back for sandwiches
but we’ll still be there
I don’t know if we’re supposed to be
at the edge of a cliff
making leaps
but that’s where we meet
by the sea.

✨A poem ✨
The wooden floor collects
the dust of those before me
in the cracks where
the past lives thrive
and a broom can’t reach
-Saschia Jayne Johnson
✨A poem✨
The “universe” a word that
perks the ears of those who believe
and those who don’t. From
the tiniest cell to the thoughts in
my mind of you
What does the word do to you?
-Saschia Jayne Johnson
A poem
Hands held in the darkness
Held in the light
Words whispered
inside our heads
bounce off the sun
and into the heart of God
-Saschia Jayne Johnson
A poem
hints on the bathroom walls
in the creak of an old door
step through the threshold
not the walk of shame but
not far from it
Lift your chin
find the words and
scribble them down before
life echoes your words
to the world before you
even get a say in the matter.
-Saschia Jayne Johnson (from my lips)
A Poem
Peel it all away
and you’ll find spiders dangling
from portfolios filled with
life’s great wisdom
Some pages, never read
some, ink stained with coffee rings
and folded edges
But deep inside this mind
it’s just me and my old fisherman
waiting out the storm.
-Saschia Jayne Johnson
A Poem
She looks to the sky
and finds a man.
He looks to the sky
and finds a woman.
They look to the sky
and find each other.
Not some romantic night out.
A connection.
-Saschia Jayne Johnson
Let them find you writing Day 7
I think 7 is a great place to wrap this up.
The word of the day is Know Your Why.
If you don’t know your why yet, that is some fantastic writing material. Write your way to your why.
“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
Frankl’s A Man’s Search for Meaning is a book that leads to why it’s important to find your why.
Your why is the foundation of why they’ll find you writing in the first place.
I don’t know why you write, but I have a feeling if you remain conscious of your why and return to it while you write, I’ll be able to find it while I read your work.

Let them find you writing.
We’ve made it to day 6!
This is a good time to write anyway. Especially if you want them to find you writing.
Tired? Write anyway.
Emotional? Write anyway.
Don’t know what to say? Write anyway.
Once you learn to trust that there’s always something to write about, you can power your way through writer’s block. This post isn’t about writer’s block, but this type of discipline prepares you for….. finish reading on my Substack

Let them find you writing.
Recap:
Day 1 and 2: We relit our flame inside ourselves by reconnecting with who we are.
Day 3: We talked about the vision of our creator finding us writing.
Day 4: We talked about how it’s important to be selfish when it comes to our space to write.
Now for today’s topic it’s a little different. This is the part of writing the public doesn’t see but it’s the root to writing a good story.
Today’s word is to: Think about your writing.
This seems simple, but for most of us, we are juggling a million things. So my trick is when someone starts to disrupt my peace, I shift my focus toward my writing. It’s probably one of the …Read More on my Substack
The thinking and tinkering that was done while creating Writer’s Quest, my debut novel, is out of this world. It’s innovative, diverse, and the front cover was hand-painted by yours truly.
