I am over at Bella Shah’s lovely blog, ThoughtsnLifeBlog, with the first in a series of three posts about what inspires me to write. Bella shares all sorts of articles about motivation, achievement, inspirational quotes and meditations. Do have a look around while you are there.

I wrote a post a few days ago about my love for being inspired – you can click here to read it.
Basically, in that post I announced that I will be interviewing my blogger friends here on WordPress.com as a way of being inspired. Inspired by their dedication, motivation, their writing and blogging journeys, their photography and much more.
Today is the first post in the series. The blogger/writer being interviewed is Robbie Cheadle. I don’t recall how Robbie and I became blogging friends, but I must say she is so inspiring and wonderful. I hope you enjoy this three-part interview with Robbie.

I’ll check it out. It always amazes me what inspires us-all to write when it makes no money, takes tons of time, and usually drives us crazy!

It is the challenge for me, Jacqui. And, of course, the hope I’ll write something meaningful and enduring at some point in my writing career. I don’t write with an expectation of earning money from it in my lifetime. I hope some of the history I share will be useful to future generations.

The background to this series of posts is that Bella needed to interview an author for her studies. She asked me and I was delighted to oblige and help her achieve her study goals. She then asked if she could share this Q&A on her blog. Bella achieved an A on her paper which is fantastic news.
