Who Do You Write For?

“Perhaps I write for no one. Perhaps for the same person children are writing for when they scrawl their names in the snow.” ― Margaret Atwood

I started out writing for excellent grades. The whole grading system really gives me anxiety, probably to prove something to my past self. Honestly, I just want to learn and be challenged in a safe place. But let me get back on topic. So yeah, I wrote for good grades, then I wrote for you, then I wrote for me. Now I don’t have it in me to put a label on who I write for. I don’t think there’s a pattern or a path that’s right or wrong when it comes to who you write for; that’s why I appreciated this quote by Atwood.

Who do you write for?

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.
