In May, One Club put together a video series (see the playlist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLhAnidPs9qQIj3TX0o4AI7cKiUZKKCCkY\">on YouTube<\/a>) that &#8220;offers digestible glimpses into the minds of many noted industry professionals, in their own words.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>&#8220;Great Writing Is Great Love&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneclub.org\/a-creative-perspective\/\">A Creative Perspective<\/a> from One Club features a perfect video on writing from novelist and copywriter, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kathyhepinstallparks.com\/books\">Kathy Hepinstall Parks.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xPa1IGRzwCY?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>She packs this short video with treasures. Witness, &#8220;Great writing is great love\u2014something the Internet can&#8217;t offer. Great writing is love at its finest\u2014generous, considerate, humble, focused on the reader.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Also, &#8220;It&#8217;s the writer&#8217;s job to be anonymous in the story. The goal is not for the reader to say, &#8216;this writer sure knows how to describe bats flying around a cave.&#8217; The reader should be busy covering their face.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For a story to captivate, the reader must let go and immerse, or &#8220;get lost&#8221; in the story, whatever form the story takes. Hepinstall Parks is saying talented writers must make room for the reader by disappearing into the story.<\/p>\n<p>One of my favorite poets and songwriters of all time is <a href=\"http:\/\/artsites.ucsc.edu\/gdead\/agdl\/terr.html\">Robert Hunter<\/a>. This is how he expressed the truth reaffirmed by Hepinstall Parks:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The storyteller makes no choice<br \/>\nsoon you will not hear his voice<br \/>\nhis job is to shed light<br \/>\nand not to master<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>First, Design Your Mind<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cgpartnersllc.com\/about\/people\/maya-kopytman\/\">Maya Kopytman<\/a> is a partner at C&amp;G Partners in Manhattan. She is one of the world&#8217;s best designers. In this video, she describes the ways in which we stimulate our brains, with music, for instance, and how these inputs activate design ideas that lead to heightened design outputs.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4QZJhSxbJaA?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>She describes the need to make connections and how when our brains are awake but at rest, we open a door to creative thoughts.
