My Imaginary council. I believe it's critical to surround yourself with the best people you can, but sometimes those people are dead. This is hanging up in my office and I've not only read almost all of their work, but I've read bios of each of them. That was eye opening and now I can stand before them and be inspired to write write write. Here are there names from left to right: [TOP: victor Hugo. Edmond Rostand. Nathaniel Hawthorne.] [MIDDLE: Homer. Ayn Rand. Edgar rice Burroughs.] [BOTTOM: O.Henry. HENRIK Ibsen. Virgil.] who would be on your imaginary council? #inspiration #successtip #successful #author #writersofinstagram #writer #writers #poetryfuel #bookfuel #litfuel #lessons #lifegoals #life #lifehacks #lifeisbeautiful #lifelessons #quotes #nathanielhawthorne #aynrand #aynrandbooks #aynrandinstitute #victorhugo #edmondrostand #homer #edgarriceburroughs #ohenry #henrikibsen #virgil #awriterslife #writingisbreathing

My favorite #poem is The Arrow and The Song by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. It was introduced to me when I was 27 years old. All my life is utterly despised poetry. But this one poem opened the floodgates and has shaped my abilities as a writer, thinker, marketer and storyteller. #litfuel

As much as I loved La La Land, the @ucberkeleyofficial riots have proven that passion is a double edged sword. #lalaforbestpic #litfuel

Spoken poetry is fucking redundant. #litfuel
