Tom rich- final post

Throughout the week I learned a lot about how people are inspired to write. Keith Dorrington was inspired to write The Fighter because he admired the way Dickie Ecklund and Micky Ward were still working hard to train Micky to be a good fighter, despite Micky's failures in fighting and despite Dicky's drug addiction. PK Simonds was inspired to go into the screenwriting business for television because he was intrigued by comedy and wanted to further his comedic writing skills. The publishing company heads were inspired to start companies editing and publishing literary journals because they enjoy reading literary journals. Thus, during this past week I met people who were inspired to write by traits of admiration, interest, and enjoyment.
