I Want to Write the Way that–

Filed under: Pondering, Writing

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…
