Your Acknowledgments Page

I’ll admit that in all of my books, the acknowledgments page was the best section to write. My only fear was missing someone on the list, but I kept notes through the process and hopefully got to everyone both inside and outside of the publishing house. It takes a lot of people to make one book.

So I love this thought from My Sweet Dumb Brain. She writes an acknowledgments list for life. As in, all of the people who make your day/week/month/year possible. We rarely do anything alone. There is almost always someone who makes the thing we’re doing possible — from making your coffee for you when you’re out to literally being a member of your work team.

She takes it a step further to also thank the tools and inanimate objects that make her day possible.

It’s a fun exercise to do or think through.
