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:

Writing this email
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,
