A Writer’s Truth

“Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.โ€ โ€“ Winston Churchill

I can’t believe how accurate this quote is. I feel like I’ve only read Churchill in school and I don’t remember much about him, but this feels very on point when it comes to novel writing. I didn’t realize the level of commitment it took to write a novel, and what’s strange is I’m still here, still writing, and I still want to do it again and again. Maybe I’ll be faster next time. Maybe not. But I’m here for the long run. And I hope it continues to bring me life, or in other words, adds to it.

I’m a writer. How about you?

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.
