Wake Up and Write is a regular advice column from Moms Don’t Have Time to Write. Today, we have Deshaun Watson —quarterback for the Houston Texans and author of Pass It On: Work Hard, Serve Others…Repeat — who shared writing advice on the podcast Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books, hosted by Zibby Owens.

“I’d just say open up.”

“Open up your imagination. Open up the experiences that you’ve dealt with growing up. Just tell your story. That’s the biggest thing. Everyone has a story. Everyone has experiences, good and bad.

Be able to open up everything that you have and be able to just let it loose on paper. It might sound crazy, it might be out of order. Organize it and get it on track.”
