I love this idea – music is a big inspiration for the stories I want to create, especially lyrics. I’m currently writing a piece that has a drummer as the main character and I find so much joy and inspiration by creating playlists of what music they like, what music they play etc.

Love this, Carson. Especially the timing. My upcoming self-published book actually has to deal with music so I’m excited for it to be released.

Oh I will definitely join this challenge. I haven’t been writing that much lately and could use a little inspiration.

I agree. Each time we fail it teaches us something. It’s part of learning. Without failure there is no success. Sure, we have our moments when we get lucky but that won’t last. Things take time. You have to take the time to practice and study to get good at something. Through all that you will have times when you make mistakes. There’s nothi…Read More

This helps a lot. I am so use to failure that part of me just doesn’t care anymore and that I expect it. And anytime something good happens I’m just on edge waiting for that other shoe to drop. Sometimes it’s nice to have these kinds of affirmations and reminders that even though you may fail you have to keep going.

If it wasn’t for me being there talking to her every day and convincing her to keep going. I don’t know if she’d still be here. I had to be stron…Read More

I’m lucky to have a number of friends who have helped me through horrible times, but a recent one was this summer at camp. I’d had a rough night with a camper and didn’t know how much it would affect me, and the next morning I found myself in my cabin alone during my off time writing in my book to my mum (I filled it with stuff I wanted to tell…Read More

I’m lucky to have my family who helps me. I sometimes can’t handle a lot in my life and they’re the first people I rely on.

Oh that’s a difficult question because there’s so many. Once Upon A Time and all the Star Wars shows/movies bring me lots of comfort.

Oh that’s so hard because there are so many answers to this but an honourable mention is The Fosters, watching that show feels like a big warm hug.

Full House for sure… I started watching it while I went through a really rough time that I don’t remember now, but I can put it on whatever mood I’m in and it just brings a little smile to my face now.

Love the question. Definitely Power Rangers: Time Force because it helped me at the start of my depression when I was a kid. I suppose another would be Joan of Arcadia. That one helped me in my teens and to this day I still find solace whenever I watch it.
