Inspire is such an amazing word. The first definition is to fill with an urge. The second is to breathe in. The second definition is the one with the most impact. To breathe as human is to live. To breathe in writing is to have culture and to grow as a society. I absolutely love literature. That emotion is why I chose to get a degree in English. And it is why I continue to write, explore, and seek stories and poetry.
In my role as Indie author, I find that inspiration comes in many forms. It could be nature. It could be an event. It could be a person. More often than not, inspiration is simply a word or set of words. Each and every day, writing takes up a huge chunk of my thoughts. I read. I write. I connect with other authors on social media.
I breathe words. I breathe life into stories. I breathe emotion.
When you analyze the word inspire as breathing in, authors inspire each and every day by doing what they love to do. Stepping outside of that, take the time to foster and inspire the younger generation to love literature and to "breathe" life through words.
