My Creative LIfe

Making time 

How do you find more time to write?

 

Do you miss deadline after deadline? Do you scrap story after story? Have you ever wondered WHY you do that and more importantly how you can STOP?

 

You’re busy - like stupid busy - but you still have this need, this wanting, an itch - if you will, to create, but you keep postponing it. You keep putting it off. In fact, you do everything, but write. You also boast the cleanest tile grout in the history of all tile grout, right?

 

We’ve all been there. You are not alone. We know the first problem is finding the time to create. That is a big challenge. Sometimes it feels like nothing short of divine intervention will get you to the page.

 

The second problem is actually writing when you do have the time. You sit there - pen poised, ideas brimming and then … nothing. Absolutely nothing. Not a word appears. Your characters have deserted you. They’re, in fact, having a little party without you. And that great idea you had? Well, that one is as elusive as a purple friggin’ unicorn. So, what do you do? You sharpen a pencil. You stare out the window. You check your email. And then … you put the kettle on. That was it. Your precious creative time delivered nothing more than a tepid cup of tea.

 

Would you like that to change? I hope the answer is yes.

MY CREATIVE LIFE GROWTH PLAN

 

  • ORIENTATION

Your creative journey starts with an orientation class on 3 August 2023.

​

  • KICK-STARTER

This is followed by a 7-day intensive kick-starter. These first seven lessons will help you to uncover your why and help you to set your goals. Creativity and discipline often feel like complete opposites, but they are two sides of the same coin. We will dive deep into this concept and discuss what you need for the year ahead.

​

  • MONTHLY LESSON

Once a month you will receive a deep-dive lesson into the nature of creativity and the relationship it has with productivity (and its nemesis procrastination.) These lessons will focus on mindset and making magic, making time to make magic and giving advice and talking about creative traumas and triggers. Figure out what is stopping you and why you can't write even if you want to.

​

  • MONTHLY PLANNER

You will receive a planner to help you plan your goals, activities and other creative pursuits.

This will help you stay on track for the whole year.

​

  • WEEKLY SCHEDULES

Achieving a year-long goal requires weekly input and attention. Every Sunday you will receive a schedule to complete. This will help you to design your creative week - and ultimately - your creative life.

​

  • DAILY PROMPTS

Each month you will receive prompts for every day of the month. The use of these is optional. They can be used for writing, painting, drawing or any other creative pursuit. You will never run out of ideas or inspiration.
