Today’s writing prompt:
What was the last thing you read or saw that really inspired you?
The last thing that really inspired me wasn’t something that I read or saw… it was a conversation I had while out in Los Angeles recently. I was visiting with an old friend and we were talking, over coffee, about all the screenplays he has written. He’s a struggling writer out in L.A. trying to make it in ‘the industry’ and he was telling me how he reads 60+ scripts a week and has written 40, 50, 60+ scripts himself. I can’t remember the exact number. I just remember thinking, WOW!
This guy, in my opinion, is one of the most talented screenplay writers I’ve ever met… yet he is struggling. It’s not easy to sell a script in Hollywood. It’s not easy to pitch ideas and get turned down again and again. It’s not easy to keep your spirits up and continue to be motivated to put pen to paper… or rather fingers to keyboard. Yet, he does it. He does it every day, day after day, week after week. He hasn’t given up and neither will I.
His drive to keep going. His determination to continue pursuing his dream inspires me to do the same.

I don’t know what surprised me last. It was a long time since I was last inspired. I don’t know what I was inspired by, maybe a cluster of strange rocks. Maybe I drew the rocks, or wrote a funny story on how they were created that way.
