Down the dark halls with not one door locked but many off limits until just the right time, I look for something familiar. I don’t need to know what just yet but when I find it, I’ll know. -Saschia ✨Jayne✨ Johnson

Finish the Book
“Can anyone see the world exactly as you do?” These books won’t write themselves. For a long time, I figured meh someone else can finish my work. Until I actually finished my first novel. I realized it was me and only me who could do the job seamlessly and with my life experience. This isn’tContinue reading “Finish the Book”
Path
“A poem about being on the way” Hands with wiggling fingers and feet with toes that are tucked inside a pair of fluffy pink striped socks and flat sneakers. A pair of hands and feet on the road to the place they feel called to -Saschia ✨Jayne✨ Johnson
Illuminate the Unknown
“This article was inspired by a Georgia O’ Keeffe” “Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant, there is no such thing. Making your unknown known is the important thing.” -Georgia O’Keeffe I like this quote from Georgia O’Keeffe because it reminds me that we define our own success. If we as writers allow the worldContinue reading “Illuminate the Unknown”

Living Art
“A poem” Tiptoe to the place your heart comes alive. Close your eyes and feel the way nature breathes against your cheek. Inside the minds of writers is where the future lies. Flip the pages, teleport through the sky, find me somewhere in between. -Saschia ✨Jayne✨ Johnson

More quiet. MoreContinue reading “I Am Human”
Don’t Look Down, Look Up
|A poem about things being better than when they started.” I dived head first into a world that peeled back every layer of skin to reveal the bone deep clattering I wrote my way to the surface thinking I’d have to dive again. I didn’t. -Saschia ✨Jayne✨ Johnson
“Creativity takes courage.” -Henri Matisse
“Break Freeee!” Creativity takes courage because often you’re combining a couple old things to make something new that comes from you. And people don’t really like new. They like the same old ideas with the same old expectations over and over again. And I can’t even be mad about it because I also like consistencyContinue reading ““Creativity takes courage.” -Henri Matisse”
