Week 35: Biography - George Lucas.  I read this page while watching the Kennedy Center honor George Lucas for his contribution to the arts on the television. George Lucas suffered an accident and changed the focus of his life from cars to college/movie making.  I write these blogs because of a similar situation that temporarily reduced my mobility.  I often go back to the adage that we can not control the cards we are dealt in life but we can control how we play them. 

I enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about the background of specific authors and get their writing tips.  With only one page per day, the information comes in nice bite sized nuggets of inspiration.
