iPhone 7 silicone case
Arrived last night, September 14, 2016, the 6th day of Disney book writing.

 

Dear inspiration,

To be able to write from the upper deck of the bus for 30 minutes in Town Square and then for another 10 in front of Cinderella Castle was “Magical”.

It postponed dinner, but a quick sandwich from Starbucks and a quiet little stair case next to the Main Street Confectionary and i was back to writing in no time.

Thank you for the opportunity to break from writing to enjoy the ride North up Main Street and then South again back to Town Square. And it was fun to get the second iPhone case in three days.

Ps. Inspiration, you inspire me.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Dear writing,

Never would i have believed that all you need to do to become a writer is simply to write.

And by writing, I mean writing like you mean it.

Who knew?

Dear Risk

Disney Flag Ceremony on September 11
Disney does this everyday. Yesterday’s September 11 anniversary was inconsequential.

 

Skipper Canteen
Dinner was extra-ordinary because of our server Britney (Skip).

 

Walt Disney World Trains
Traffic rarely gets backed up because of trains, but it does happen.

 

Dear Risk,

Waking up is risky.

More people die after waking up than die in their sleep.

i’ll gladly take the risk.

More people die with regret than die without.

i’ll never accept that risk.

Dear Prayer

Disney Leadership author jeff noel
The first Disney business book writing session. The storyboard was completed months ago.

 

Disney Leadership author jeff noel
The goal was simple, write the first sentence. Without a great first sentence, you aren’t free to begin writing.

 

Disney Leadership author jeff noel
Asked our son (16) to be creative and take a bunch of photos from different angles.

 

Disney Leadership author jeff noel
Warming up by titling the Apple Notes app page i’ll be using: “The 1st book…Leade…(notice the photo captured the “r”).

 

Disney Leadership author jeff noel
i was so focused on what i was doing, i forgot he was there.

 

Disney Leadership author jeff noel
While i had thought of the first sentence for months, i had nothing in writing because i was stuck.

 

Disney Leadership author jeff noel
We spent two hours in Magic Kingdom, but i literally had only five minutes of writing time.

 

Disney Leadership author jeff noel
We still had a 10-minute walk back to the car and a 10-minute drive home.

 

Disney Leadership author jeff noel
i looked just to see if my son was even around and mindful he had Cross Country practice in less than 10 hours.

 

Disney Leadership author jeff noel
The time pressure combined with the inspiration of the iPhone 7 and Adventureland’s Jungle Cruise Attraction, i broke through and wrote a great first sentence.

 

Dear Prayer,

Thank you for two knees on which to kneel, for two eyes to softly close, for two hands to gently fold.

Thank you for the presence of mind to create a daily habit of prayer first thing upon waking.

Thank you for the gift of life each day for the past 17 years in which this small, simple, daily routine has brought tremendous peace to a former life of stress and regret.
