Do You Feel Through Writing

“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.” -Anaïs Nin

Feeling through writing is the point. When I first started out as a writer, I wanted to write something that was analyzed in a college classroom. Now that years have passed, I desire less that my writing be analyzed and more that it be felt and inspire. I want my work to be part of someone’s top three books that made them come alive, choose to stay alive, or reach for the stars. Life is meant to be felt, not in a way that we are swayed this way and that, but in a way that we are present in our different environments. Like life, writing requires presence at the bare minimum.

What’s your top three?

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.

One thought on “Do You Feel Through Writing

  1. Wow! Selecting my top three books is always tough. I’d say Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings is number one, Ray Bradbury’s Something Wicked this Way Comes, then Isaac Asimov’s Robot Mystery series.
