Contributed by Karen Cioffi, Children's Writer
So many things inspire me; the most recent is a video I saw on LinkedIn.
It’s about chain reactions, and I immediately thought of writing.
I found the original video on YouTube and have it here. It’s only 2 ½ minutes and super-inspiring.
As the demonstrator (Stephen Morris) mentioned, if he had 29 dominoes, the last one would be as tall as the Empire State Building!
WOW! It’s minding-boggling to think about the actual size of the initial domino that caused such a powerful chain reaction.
So how does this relate to writing?
As writers, what we write matters. Words matter.
You trigger the initial event by writing your story. Once it’s released into the world, it creates energy, and each time a reader reads it, more and more energy is released. The domino chain reaction is underway.
This is the superpower writers have.
As a children’s writer, you never know how your story will spark something in a child.
It could spark an interest in the environment, history, astronomy, kindness, or even peace. It’s that initial event or trigger that can lead the reader on to greater things. Or, it may be a nonfiction book on creating a better life, or a better world.
Again, your words can become the trigger that sparks better things. That’s the power of a story. The possibilities are limitless, so use your superpower wisely!
Want to be that spark in a child’s imagination or life?
Become the author of your own children’s book. Be the trigger in a writing-reading domino chain reaction.
