What Does this Quote Mean?

All good writing is swimming under water and holding your breath.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Good writing? Holding your breath? How long? What are we writing about? This quote just creates more questions for me. When we read writing do we know it’s good when we feel like we’re holding our breath?

Jayne is a writer. On her free time she likes to be with her family hiking outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
