For me, the writing process is the same as the reading process. I want to know what happens next. ” -Neal Asher
Writing has taught me so much. It’s taught me how to read. It’s taught me how to use my imagination. It’s gained me writing friends. Writing has taught me to ground myself in the present moment. Before I throw words on a page, I sit for a moment. I try to think of what I wasn’t able to say or what I wasn’t able to take the time to feel. Then I feel through it. Sometimes that’s where my writing content comes from.
How about you? Does writing bring you into the present moment?

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.
