I like to read them every once in a while. They provide such simple but interesting facts about "stuff". So (a couple months ago) she came home with one about Dr Seuss and it totally inspired me. I will share with you some interesting facts about him that I think will inspire you to pursue your dreams and hopefully will really inspire all you writers out there.
Dr. Theophrastus Seuss was drawing cartoons one day for a magazine and a man asked him to write a book and gave him a list of easy words (I always liked that word easy) and he could only use those words in his book. (hmmmm....I might try this) He picked 2 rhyming words from that list...Cat and Hat. His book was about a cat in a red and white hat. The cat gets in oodles of trouble hence:
Another book originated from a bet. His friend said he couldn't write a book with only 50 different words....so he took on the challenge and the book is called
 |
| Ha! He showed Him! |
One day he had a window open and wind blew a pile of drawings he had on his desk. A drawing he had of an elephant blew on top of a drawing of a tree which gave him the idea for....you guessed it...
For all of you writers out there and anyone pursuing a dream, Dr. Seuss's first book got rejected 27 times before a company said yes. Do not give up on your dreams!
So...what I'm taking away from this is
1.Do not make things so complicated.
2. Follow your.....
If you sense God has laid something on your heart to pursue, step out in faith...do what you know to do now and see how God meets you where you are.
I really like Dr.Seuss's story because it is
It seems obtainable.
It was the simple things that gave him inspiration for those ever so popular books he wrote.
And now...I will leave you with an ever so wise quote! :) It spoke to me at least! :)
Till Next Time!
