Sonya Elliott – Page 136 – Back on the Court

Meet Sonya

Sonya Elliott’s memoir, Back on the Court: A Young Woman’s Triumphant Return to Life, Love & Basketball, is her story of finding hope in the wake of tragedy after she and her fiancé were hit by a train. She blogs about writing, basketball, and life and is currently working on a Young Adult Novel and a Non-Fiction Coaching book. Stories of her career as a fashion model are woven through her memoir, as both the Soloflex and Easy Spirit Shoes commercials were filmed during that time period, and this unique and intriguing business continues to be a part of her life.

Sonya played basketball at Eastern Washington University and was a starter for the Big Sky Champion team that went to the 1987 NCAA tournament. She coached for almost 25 years and was voted Seattle Times Coach of the Year, Seattle Officials Women’s Basketball Association Coach of the Year, and twice voted Metro League Coach of the Year. She loves the game of basketball and is thankful, not only for her husband and kids but for her ability to continue to get back on the court.

January Jump Start – Day 25

Remember, when a prompt is in quotes, it does not mean you have to use it as a quote…just go where the words take you.

January 24, 2013 – Writing Prompt: Write what came first

January Jump Start – Day 23

I liked Jenny’s writing prompt yesterday. What is the one thing getting in the way of fulfilling your dreams? Of course when my pen hit the paper, it went to “time” right away, lack of time is getting in my way, that’s an easy one to blame. Then my writing shifted to “fear” that’s common and of course I have that too, but ONE thing. I had to call bullshit on my musings. I found, or should I say my writing found, “focus” to be my problem…at least for the moment. 😉 Sometimes I spread myself too thin. Thanks Jenny for helping me to remember to find focus and keep myself on track.

And thanks to those of you who are taking part in this January Jump Start, which is also keeping me focused on my writing. Keep on writing…
