Hey, Let’s Hear it!

“You know what I did after I wrote my first novel? I shut up and wrote twenty-three more.” – Michael Connelly

Shut up isn’t exactly what happens when you write 23 novels. I feel like that’s the complete opposite of shut up. But I get it. Once we finish one book as writers, it’s time to get back to the desk and write some more. I just think it’s important to remember that writing is an extension of your voice. Your voice is worthy of being heard. As a writer, it’s never time for you to shut up. It’s always time for you to speak up, to research, to think, and to learn to use the tools that we have as writers. Please don’t ever think it’s time for you to stop.

What’s on your mind lately?

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.

  1. I’ve been trying to write all day, stuck in a dry gulch with my lack of patience. So now I’m trying to relax with a TV show and a sleepy dog in my lap. Thankfully I finished one of my household todos.

  2. Lack of patience means it’s taking too long to even get started on a piece of writing. I’m especially frustrated with my science fiction short story. But it’s been awhile since I worked in that genre. So I need to be more patient. Sigh!
