“I wanted to make it happen”

Ian Tadashi Moore writes, illustrates, composes music for and records stories of joy, mindfulness, courage, and resilience for all ages. On this episode, he talks about what inspires him, how he wrote his first book to be a keepsake for his two sons and why he chooses and unusual (and costly) method of publishing his books. He also creates audiobook versions of his books – HIMSELF!

“I’m just a guy on a tugboat writing a book”

Donald Davidson is writing his very first novel, a sci fi story. By the time you finish listening to this episode on the Write Like a Badass podcast – and hearing Don’s story – you are going to be out of excuses for why you can’t write. You don’t enough time. You’ve got to work, or drive the kids to school. All valid excuses, but…

Don is making steady progress on his work in progress in spite of the fact that he spends two weeks out of every four on a boat – and he can only write on a phone. He doesn’t own a laptop or a desktop. Naturally, when I encountered him on TikTok, I found his situation interesting and I thought you would, too.

Check out Don’s episode of the pod and other episodes, as well, for writing inspiration and information.

Happy writing!
