Writing Alone and With Others

“Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.” ~Oscar Wilde

Finding yourself happens alone and with others. I like solitude, but I also enjoy discovering new aspects of myself while I’m out in the world trying to figure it all out. When we’re alone, we can indulge our curiosity with little interruption. When we’re with others, we get to entangle our curiosity and find new questions or frustrations to indulge our curiosities again. I know writing is fairly solitary, but I like a good collaboration too.

How about you? Do you prefer one over the other?

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.
