Everyone Has a Story | by Madisyn Taylor It's easy to forget sometimes that everyone has a story to tell if we take the time to listen. We are so accustomed to hearing the stories of people in the news that we sometimes lose track of the fact that the random stranger on the bus also has a fascinating story about where they came from and how they got to be where they are. The sheer variety of paths taken in this world, from farmers to CEOs to homeless people to world travelers, is indicative of how much we can learn from each individual. Sometimes the shy, quiet person at work has the most amazing life story and the biggest dreams, it is up to us to take the time to find out. Some people travel a path of wealth and privilege, while others struggle with only themselves to rely on, and both have great stories to tell. Each person learns lessons, makes choices, and develops a unique perspective, which only they can claim and share. Even two people who have had very similar lives will have slightly different experiences, leading them to a different point of view, so each person remains a treasure trove waiting to be explored. When we take the time to ask questions and listen, we find that every person has a fascinating story to tell and an utterly unique perspective from which to tell it. Bearing this in mind, we have the opportunity to approach the world around us in a new way. There is never any reason to be bored at a party, or on the bus, or in a conversation with a stranger. When we retain the spark of curiosity and the warmth required to open someone up, we always have in front of us the makings of a great story. All we have to do is ask. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Rachel Astor Have you always thought you had a novel in you? Do you sometimes find yourself conjuring up scenarios, characters, settings and more? Imagine finally getting all that creativity out onto the page. Most people believe writing a novel has to be hard, or that it will take too much time, or they simply have no idea where to start. But what if you could have a completed novel just six weeks from the moment you start plotting? This course will show you how to go from an inkling of a story to an entire novel in six weeks. The secret is in the quick writing method and the detailed book map - because once you know where you're going, all those fears of "I can't do this" will melt away. And if you've already done the work of ironing out the "big picture" from the very beginning, you'll be free to let your characters, settings, actions, etc. come alive. Your writing will flow like you never thought possible. Nicolas Sparks says, "Writing the last page of the first draft is the most enjoyable moment in writing.
