A little Monday writing inspiration (from a YouTuber?!)


Hey Reader,

​
It’s Monday. I’m sitting at Starbucks. So far, I’ve managed to get two really big things done:

  1. Writing this email
  2. My morning pages ☕✍️
    ​

But the small thing I did? I checked the latest update on Ryan Trahan’s 50 States in 50 Days fundraiser for St. Jude.

Our family’s been watching it together each day, and honestly—he’s a master storyteller. The way he invites his viewers into the journey (and this epic cause) is wildly inspiring.
​

There are so many takeaways for writers:
​
​
→ how to invite people into a story
→ how to build something meaningful
→ and how to make people feel something.
​

Also? It’s just beautiful to see how generous people really are. They've raised over $4 million and counting!

Hope it brings a smile and a spark of inspiration to your day.

Hit reply and let me know what's inspiring YOU today.

​
Stay curious and keep writing,
