I talk a lot about the “magic” of writing. And I mean that in a certain kind of way.
I’m not talking about a fluffy, sparkly kind of magic. I’m talking about what I call the “rough magic” of writing. The alchemy that happens on the page and inside the writer, and that can’t help but ripple out into the world.
Let me know in the comments about your magical writing experiences. I know I’m not alone in this…
Since leaving academia two-and-a-half years ago, I have focused on growing my business to help people write books. But I made a grave mistake… I have recently realized I was doing something in my business life I haven’t done for YEARS in my personal life.
But I have my head on straight now, and everything’s changing. Listen to hear about where my focus is going now and why…
Writing exposes us and makes us vulnerable. Our knee-jerk response is oftentimes to pull back and stuff the impulse. But when we see start to see how doing much in life makes us vulnerable, and when we see others doing vulnerable things, it can provide a gateway to allow us to, as Susan Jeffers wrote about way, way back in the 80s, feel the fear and do it anyway.
It takes a certain mindset—this word, “Svergonata.”
Fear kept me from starting this channel in earnest for way too long. I hope that after you watch, you’ll join me in doing things that make you vulnerable, like writing your novel. And that you’ll embrace the svergonata mindset.
Putting ourselves out there, sharing our stories, isn’t always easy. But I’m convinced that stories can heal the world, so let’s embrace the svergonata mindset and do it together. (There’s safety in numbers.)
I believe in energetic reciprocity. When you subscribe to my email list and/or my YouTube channel, we’re doing something more than simply exchanging currencies—your email address for my content.
We’re collectively growing a community of mindful, evolving people who embrace the reality that stories can heal the world.
In working with people over the years, I’ve found that people LOVE prompts.
Prompts are great as a palate cleanser – a break from that big, long project that’s starting to feel like it’s never going to end. Giving your creative mind a shot of something new is a great way to reshuffle the mind and allow flow to happen.
Prompts are also great for those times when you feel your creative well has gone dry – even though this can never happen… you are an endless fount of ideas and creativity.
