Copyblogger asks who inspires my writing. I’ve got a few sources:

My kids. Are ingenious, creative, innocent and sophisticated all at once. They’re a constant stream of inspiration for me.

Politics. I continuously see people across the political spectrum do things that excite my admiration or disgust.

Fiction. I read a lot of books. Right now I’m re-reading the Aubrey/Maturin novels by Patrick O’Brian. You’d be amazed how much you can learn about marketing from a Napoleonic-era naval captain and his surgeon/intelligence agent.
