“A true masterpiece does not tell everything.” ― Albert Camus
Here’s your annual reminder to stop oversharing. Stories hold more weight when we are given space to fill in our own ideas. When cut down to the meat, it gives our minds fewer words to store and more symbols to connect with. Let things be unsaid. Let readers wonder about all the possibilities. Let them take time to think about what they’d like to fill that space in with. Some might say the story isn’t finished until it reaches the readers. We must respect and honor their part in the process.
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.
