“A person is a fool to become a writer. His only compensation is absolute freedom. He has no master except his own soul, and that, I am sure, is why he does it” – Roald Dahl
Well isn’t that an intriguing offer. Write, be free. Be your own master. I think this romanticizes writing a little bit but it sounds very nice. I’ll have to ask some successful writers how they feel about this quote.
What do you think? Absolute Freedom is a big statement. Do you think that there’s absolute freedom as a writer?

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.
