You now that terrible feeling you get when you oversleep?
You crack open a bleary eye and check the clock. Hmm… wasn’t there something I was supposed to do this morning? What day is it?
The memory arrives and promptly punches you in the stomach. You respond with a string of near-expletives: “Donut! I forgot about _________!”
Well, my friends, that happened to me today. I have been so absorbed in WriteOnCon.com* that I nearly forgot to put up my post for today.
You know what that means, right?
Today is a video day!
I had actually planned to share this little gem with you anyway. In this TED talk, Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love, speaks about writing genius and good mental health. It is funny, thought provoking, and inspiring. I’m going to slap a very strong declarative statement on it: every writer should watch this.
It’s about 20 minutes long so pop some popcorn and settle in. Next time I post, perhaps we can discuss it further.
If I wake up on time.
*If you haven’t heard of WriteOnCon, the free online children’s writers conference, you still have a day left to take part in all of it’s fabulousness. Go there. Now. (Then come back and watch the video.)
