If you could choose which writer would you have dinner with?

“Every act of communication is an act of tremendous courage in which we give ourselves over to two parallel possibilities: the possibility of planting into another mind a seed sprouted in ours and watching it blossom into a breathtaking flower of mutual understanding; and the possibility of being wholly misunderstood, reduced to a withering weed.” -Ursula K. Le Guin

I only got a short time to dream of having a living, breathing dinner with Ms. Le Guin before she passed. I remember when I found her short story The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas and believed just a tad bit more that maybe there is a place for me as a writer. I felt like I was so close to finding someone as strange cool as me that I could connect with 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.
