Here is the ninth blog post in a series featuring videos on YouTube, where I read a paragraph from one of my motivational books and use it as a prompt to speak freely.
This idea was inspired by the free-writing exercise well-known among writers. I used dice and timer to turn this free-speaking exercise into fun games. I hope you enjoy watching them and maybe trying out this gameful approach for yourself and tasks you want or need to tackle today.
In this video, I read from my book Cheerleading for Writers: Discover How Truly Talented You Are.
I am reading from the chapter titled “L – Life, Libel, and Liability.”
Here it is if you want to read along, prior, or afterward.

Excerpt from the Cheerleading for Writers
Some questions for contemplation: What are your experiences with writing your truth and taking care of people so that no-one sees your writing as libel? What balancing acts have you done in your writing? And how did this creative discomfort feel for you?
