Inspiration can be found in many places in different ways. Often simple pick me up conversations with a fellow author will do it. For me what gets me motivated to write and be better is hearing what my fellow RWA chapter writers have done and their accomplishment. There is nothing like hearing someone who had a block get through it or sell a book, get a good review or good contest results to get me going. The only problem is that my chapter is slowly phasing that out because our membership is increasing. I can understand it takes more time but I’d hate to see it go.

This week I saw a video that touched me and motivated me all in one. It was originally posted on Smart Bitches Trashy Books (Fabulous website by the way). What is it? Well it’s a documentary produced by Marianne Mancusi. It details Sherrilyn Kenyon’s road to success. For an author this is great inspiration. We all think that the big authors were born that way or were accepted with their first submission. That’s not the case. These kind of documentaries keeps author spirits going, just like mine.

Thanks Ms Mancusi for producing a great inspiring documentary and thank you Ms Kenyon for sharing your own private yet inspiring story of following your dream. This author intends to do just that.

Here is the link to the video on Youtube. For some unknown reason I can’t upload it through Wordpress like other blog sites.
