The newsletter is delayed a due to brain fog yesterday -- probably due to overcharing my calendar. Because I'm in deep transition...

Today I want to share with you about my evolution -- and I'm in the middle of another big change.

Creative people, we don't stand still, do we?

I've been helping writers in my business for 20 years now, and I've always helped writers.

I've helped all kinds of writers: non-fiction, general fiction, and in the last four years, I've helped science fiction and fantasy writers.

Before that, for another previous six years or so, I was helping genre fiction writers.

So, as you can seem, my business (and me along with it) has evolved.

I started out as a creativity coach for writers, and I am now shifting out of that role and into a new one... all the while still helping science fiction and fantasy writers with my Edit Lab, my Edit Mastermind, and tailored one-on-one work.

My new role is as a Producer -- a producer of podcasts, books, and YouTube channels. (And eventually, TV, documentaries, and film.)

For many years, the term "producer" has been floating around undefined.

I didn't know exactly what it was or what it meant, even though I was attracted to it ever since I started working on my short film -- which is now going through the tedious editing process.

What does all this mean for you?

I'm still here helping you -- science fiction and fantasy writer -- with your writing, editing, publishing, marketing.

That's my passion, that's what I'm still doing for myself!

I wrote two stories this week — dictated them, in fact, which has been a new thing for me, but necessary because of ongoing repetitive stress injuries in my hands and a real physical limitation in them.

These stories are part of the TV show I want to make, based on my Henrietta The Dragon Slayer, YA fantasy trilogy.

All that to say: things are constantly shifting for creative people.

I imagine you've gone through many evolutions yourself, and maybe even wear many hats.

How many hats do you wear?

I wear the hat of writer, editor, business owner, wife, friend, human being.

Oh, and I can't forget cat mom, or cat servant. Depending on the moment.
