| Creativity is a Revolutionary Act
|
| |
|
| | Creativity is inherent in being human and is key to how we learn and grow; creativity is our power. And in this day and age of great change, exercising our creativity is a revolutionary act.
When you invest in yourself and your storytelling skills, you’re not only helping yourself but you are also helping countless others who will read your work.
If you’re ready to take your next step in your storytelling skills, I encourage to first and foremost write down your ideas, your story; then edit your story to get it ready for the world. (With the help of an editor, early readers, or beta readers, or all of these.) Lastly publish and market your stories so that hundreds, thousands, even millions can read your stories and be moved by them.
If you need help with any of these steps, our online school for fiction writers may be able to support you on your next step in your writer’s adventure.
Now's a great time to peruse the offerings in our school because July is when I run a 50% off sale in honor of my revolutionary act of stepping outside the life of an employee and diving into being self-employed thirteen years ago.
Just use this coupon at checkout to get 50% off: VENTE2019
Thirteen years ago, I made the decision to help authors through my workshops, courses, and presentations. And via books too.
I made this move so I could create the freedom I yearned for to dive deep into becoming a novelist. And I have.
Declaring my independence to live my life outside the expected norms hasn’t been easy but it has been so worth it.
What is your next step toward what you yearn for? Are you ready to take that small yet important step?
Because if not now, when? If not you, then who?
Now more than ever your unique voice is needed in the world.
No one else but you has your unique collection of life experiences, dreams, and longings.
Put those into your stories. Be surprised where they lead you, and let your heart and mind shine on the page.
If you’d like support, I’m here for you. As a guide. As a cheerleader. With deep understanding.
The life of a creative isn’t easy. You’re forging new paths, creating new worlds. It’s scary and can feel lonely.
But you are not alone. Look around you. Hundreds, thousands, millions of creatives walk their own paths beside you — all wrangling with the unknown, all weaving their creative dreams into creation.
It’s a magical thing we do, write stories. All creative acts pull from the unknown and unseen. We then transform these into hard tangible forms.
If this act takes your breath away with wonder and awe, you are in the flow. You are worth investing in, be it in time, money, or both.
Dare. Create. Declare your independent voice.
I will cheer you on!
And if you’re looking for support right now, consider my online sale here:
