Ann Hood's TED Talk, 'Why Write'

Today, I’ll share one of my favourite TED Talks by the writer, Ann Hood.

Her first novel was published in 1987, and since then her writing has included novels, memoirs and short stories.

I’ve not read any of her works but while going through TED Talks specifically to do with writing and creativity, the title of her talk – ‘Why Write’ – instantly captured my attention. In fact, the whole talk had my undivided attention as she’s a great storyteller.

She shares, not only, funny stories but a heart-breaking tragedy involving her family, all woven naturally into her talk.

I’ve watched this a few times now, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
