Writing as an Anchor

“If I waited for perfection, I would never write a word.” – Margaret Atwood

Writing is the anchor I didn’t know I needed. But now I have it, and I will use it as much as I need. When writing becomes more than just “something to do,” it’s a different lifestyle. I hear you, when you say writing is not better or worse than others who write to write. It’s just different. The need to write is sometimes stronger than the desire, but it’s such a gift when the desire is there. Like anything else, daily habits mean you do them regardless of how you feel. At the same time, I think we can all agree that everything feels better when you want to do it.

Why do you write?

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.
