Jessamine / Jessamyn

Meaning: (Jasmine, A Flower, He Sees, Variant of Jasmine and Jessica.)

Origin: (Arabic, Old French, Persian, Hebrew, English)

Pronunciation: (JH-S-aa-MihN, Jess-uh-men)

Gender: Female

I was adding new quotes to my list of inspirational quotes and I came across some new writing quotes on the internet. Just like the name Havelock *See on list of posts* this name was the name of an author whose quote I read. Jessamyn was the one I saw but when looking up the name I often saw the spelling Jessamine so I added them both. It seems this name was around as far back as the 1950’s but I would assume it may go even farther back but I am not sure how far back this might have been used or how often. It has good meanings and is a pretty name. A good nickname could be Jessa.

Writing Quotes

You become a writer because you need to become a writer- nothing else. – Grace Paley

Detail makes the difference between boring and terrific writing. It's the difference between a pencil sketch and a lush oil painting. As a writer, words are your paint. Use all the colors. – Rhys Alexander

Keep writing. Keep doing it and doing it. Even in the moments when it's so hurtful to think about writing. – Heather Armstrong

You must keep sending work out; you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you're working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success - but only if you persist. – Isaac Asimov

The pen is mightier than the sword if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp.”- Terry Pratchett

Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self. - Cyril Connolly

As against having beautiful workshops, studios, etc., One writes best in a cellar on a rainy day- Van Wyck Brooks

We do not write because we want to; we write because we have to. - William Somerset

If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it. - Toni Morrison

A culture is as rich and as capable of surviving as it has imaginative artists. The artist is looked upon to start things. The artist injects the spirit of life into a culture. And through his creative endeavors, the writer works continually to give tomorrow a new form. - L. Ron Hubbard
