Writing is…

“By the time I am nearing the end of a story, the first part will have been reread and altered and corrected at least one hundred and fifty times. I am suspicious of both facility and speed. Good writing is essentially rewriting. I am positive of this.” – Roald Dahl

This. To hear one of my most favorite writers say this means the world to me. Seriously, as writers, what you share with other writers makes all the difference in the world. If it were not for the work writers left behind, I would have quit writing years ago. Well, who knows, really? The evolution of the entire world rests in the hands of writers. I can’t think of a world without it. Anyway, writing is rewriting, and that’s a fact. It’s a whole lifestyle.

How’s your writing going?! Inspire me!

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.
