There are so many amazing authors in the world. I read them. I study them. I admire them. I aspire. But over the years, I’ve learned that there are people, who are not authors, that move me in just as powerful ways.
Here are some of my inspirations that have nothing to do with writing.
I want to write the way Mia Michaels choreographs.
I want to write the way Adele sings.
I want to write the way the 1980 Men’s Olympic Hockey team worked together to win gold.
I want to write the way Malala Yousafzai lives her life–bravely.

I want to write the way Mahatma Gandhi inspired the world.
This is just a few of many. And I consider myself lucky to have such a long list of inspiration. What about you? I’d love to hear what make you want to write a better book…

Love this. I want to write inspiring posts the way Kimberly Sabatini does!
*blushes*
Oh, I know just what you mean!! I want to write like U2 performs! They are old soul poets who mend the world. <3
P.S. A.N. Remtulla is on to something up there ^
Yes and Oh, you guys! <3
Love Mia Michaels!!!! (and you get extra points from me for a hockey reference!)
I want to write like Sylvia Fontana skated her long program in the Torino olympics. She knew she wasn’t going to win, but she skated with so much joy (even mini cheers after landing some of her jumps)and love that I still cry watching it 7 years later: http://youtu.be/jlWxMSZ08sg
If I can enjoy the process, I’ve already won.
Love that! <3
