Return to Me

“For it would seem – her case proved it – that we write, not with the fingers, but with the whole person. The nerve which controls the pen winds itself about every fiber of our being, threads the heart, pierces the liver.” – Virginia Woolf

I love me some writers who bare their bones! I want an entire creep show. Creep as is oh snap, this is the real real. This is a writer separate from the rest. Those writers that call us out of our Stepford ways and let us shake free.

To write that way, Woolf says it well. They write with their entire being. Not just with the tips of their fingers but from depths of who they are. Imagine reading a piece of work that returns you to your self! That is good writing.

Saschia Jayne Johnson is the author of Writer’s Quest: A Triptych. On her free time, she likes to be with her family 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 it was the search that held what was most important; curiosity." Saschia 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.
