“I’d like to write but what would I write about? I’m not an authority on anything.” Show host and writing coach, Dr. Tim Morrison, often hears these words from people who hunger to write but hesitate to pick up a pen or sit down to the keyboard. Tim’s reply? “We each are authorities on how we view and experience life and work and the world. Write about that.” Today’s guests take that concept seriously. Bill Worth’s first career was in newspaper journalism. Then he entered ministry. Now he writes full time – novels – and in his writing he draws upon his view of the world shaped by his years as a journalist and managing editor and minister. This is his authority for writing intriguing novels. Brenda Stockdale is the Director of Mind-Body Medicine at RC Cancer Centers where the latest research in mind-body medicine serves as an adjunct to medical treatment. While Stockdale is a clinician in the field of behavioral medicine, her own experience with life-altering and catastrophic illness provided the authority to write, in an intimate way, her book You Can Beat the Odds. Karon Cook claims a career as an actress in family films, television and commercials. She has produced indie films as well. Now Karon is a Print Sportscaster and currently has a Show Concept under consideration at Turner Sports. Where is her authority for doing that? Listen in. Find out. Learn from these three amazing professionals who each claim the title of writer/author. Your mind will be opened to the vast field of authority you have in your life that can be the foundation for your writing.
