Writing Motivation

Are you worried about your kids because they seem unmotivated, unwilling to do anything, and are having difficulties in life? Have you or a loved one gained weight? Are you always upset about every little thing on the news? Maybe you need to turn off the television! The boob tube, as it used to be called, breeds violence and laziness in society. A large minority of the population sits in front to the television every day, soaking in advertising and political propaganda, watching violence and sex, and gaining weight.

If you’re in business, you probably do quite a bit of writing. You write emails, sales copy, reports, executive summaries, blog posts, operations documents, memos and more. And each time you write, you’re seeking to inform and/or influence your reader. You are, in effect, performing. Publisher and exploratory writing coach Alison Jones wants to get you thinking about writing in a completely different way. Rather than a stage, she wants you to see the blank page as uncharted terrain, as an opportunity for you to explore what you DON’T know, rather than simply expressing what you DO.

Why do we feel that we need to please others instead of ourselves? We will talk about what makes up our authentic selves as well as what we can do in order to become the people we want to be.
