Why You Should Read, Watch and Hear Stuff That Piss You Off

I’ve a short one for you today.

I’m all for reading stuff that inspire and motivate you. They put you in a good mood and encourage you to take action. But sometimes, the best story material lies in stuff that irritate you or make you furious. You can’t wait to write a rebuttal.

I once started an entire blog because a young adult stuck in the middle ages (or his own hormones) was sharing his “wisdom” with a girl on why men and women can’t be just friends. Right…

I recently found articles that vexed me, which in turn became three article ideas: I pitched one to a publication, got this tiny motivational gem, and I’m working on my third. It wasn’t like the idea well was running dry (though it sometimes feels like it might), and I’ve never been so pleased to be mad. I’ll share the articles with you the resulting articles soon.

Stay tuned. Sometimes angry is good. Right, my dear writing addict Hulks?

What has pissed you off recently? And what did you about it?
