Change the World (Prompt 8 #swinspires)

This feels a little bit like cheating as I didn't personally make the video, but it is the people in this video who inspire me to change the world. I am lucky to have one of the best jobs in the world. Note: This is my response to Prompt #8 post for #swinspires, the Give the Gift of Inspiration campaign hosted by …See More

Laura commented on the blog post 'Writing Inspiration–Who (Prompt 3 #swinspires)'

"Non-fiction is writing too. Please don't make it all about fiction writing, as if that is the only one we should aspire to be or be good at. Most of my writing is non-fiction too, I prefer it actually. I don't seem to settle in and write…"

Writing Inspiration–Who (Prompt 3 #swinspires)

I have to confess to struggling a bit with these prompts as I don’t consider myself a “writer,” but rather someonewhose job requires a fair amount of writing. I do, after all, spend large chunks of my day writing something (reports, funding requests, grant proposals, scholarly articles, email, what have you). In other words, while I certainly write (and read) a lot, most of it is not what most people…See More

Healthy Inspiration (Prompt 5 #swinspires)

Posted on December 17, 2010 at 7:09am 0 Comments 0 Likes

What inspires me to try to be healthy (emphasis on the trying, alas) is that I really want to live long enough to be an “old lady” — as in I can say whatever I want because I’m old enough to have earned the right.
