Comedian and scriptwriter Ricky Gervais talks about his writing process and how he learned to write. Good info here . . .
The key bit of advice that he received as a young man is important: Write about what you know. That’s true for nonfiction as well as fiction. That’s true for poetry as well as children’s books. That’s true for social media shares as well as blog posts. That’s true for when you speak as well as when you promote.

Hi John, What an inspiring video, loved his advice of being honest, making the ordinary extraordinary. It’s so true, we all connect with real human emotions that occur in everyday life. I had never seen this video. Thanks for sharing

Hi John, Thank you for this video. It inspires me to use the ordinary stories of my life in my blogs and books. Like Ricky, I once thought these were super boring, but that’s not true at all. People crave authentic and touching stories, and we can all deliver those if we only would.
