Home » Writing like Mr. Rogers Lived
My only book on how to write inspirational memoir:
It was a sad day when we woke up to a world without Mr. Rogers. As I drive grandkiddos through our woods and beyond to school, we sing “It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood…”
Broadcasting grace. Oh my. Inviting people to our garden. ILike.
“Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.”
— Fred Rogers
Perhaps this too could be understood in terms of publishing…
I used to watch Mr. Rogers every day with Sesame Street. Never was my preference bc it was so slow, but I appreciate that now.
Maddie, absolutely. “To know we are not alone” is overwhelmingly the reason I’ve heard writers give for writing.
