I came home late last night and did not get to bed until 11pm. At midnight, our 6 month old daughter woke up and I with her. Could not get back to sleep until 3 hours later. Why?

Because I kept thinking about this competition. I am not sure it is suitable for everyone to jumpstart your writing career.

But what was so intriguing to me, was the task: A story about your most life changing moment in life. I thought of my own birth, then the birth of our daughter, meeting my wife, making love to the first woman.

And somehow I realized that all these changes were not single moments in time, but rather developments over a few months. But then I remembered one moment.

So here is my entry to the bestselling author competition:

I just took action, wrote my thoughts down, taped it and uploaded it. If you decide to enter, too, please share the link to your video in a comment. I’d love to see it.

You can also see some other entries that have been posted in the comments on the simpleology blog.
