The word “again” is in my title… I’ve reblogged the post before, and I even reblogged the Reblog. Yes, I’m rolling my eyes at myself. Why do it again? I’ve had many new followers since 2011 when the post had been written, and new followers since 2013 when I decided to repost. I’ve lost the ability to reblog the post again, so I have to link to it. My writing has changed and improved so much since I wrote the post, which makes me proud to know I’m still learning. https://maryjdresselbooks.com/2011/08/02/inspiration-from-long-ago/
This is inspiring to me because I had someone else tell me at the mere age of thirteen what I had known all along. “You should be a writer.” Those of you who have been around here since 2011 or even 2013, you’ve seen this, so I apologize for talking about and linking to this post yet again. But to this day I give thanks to my seventh grade language arts teacher. I realize this post is more inspiring to me than you, but since it’s Tuesday and time for Tuesday Inspiration for the Muse, this is what I’m posting today. On a side note, thanks to all of you who have stuck around since 2011.
Do you remember who or what inspired you to follow your dreams?
Thank you for reading.

Early morning here and I’m reading your post I saved from Tuesday. It’s been busy so this is the first chance I’ve had to respond. Love the repost on inspiration being everywhere. I agree completely. Daily life, news, dreams, tragedy, and events are all intertwined into my writing. The core of the fact could be the beginning of the storytelling or the complete tale could be written into the book. It’s true, if you piss me off, you may end up in my next book. lol
BTW, love the owls. Have a wonderful day, Mary. Talk to you soon.

Hi, Catherine, thanks for reading. Better late than never! 🙂 I agree about inspiration being everywhere and in everything. Thankfully! I also agree about “don’t piss me off” or they could end up… You’re right. That’s an advantage we authors have, and it’s better than getting into a confrontation outside of fiction. IMHO. I thought the owls were kind of cute too.

Love it! You’re speaking the truth, my friend. How many times have I vented to my computer screen rather than jump down someone’s throat? Lol Happy writing!
