A Creative Life

Pre P.S. If you're looking to write you novel this November and want to use Scrivener but don't know how to use it, then check out our upcoming training with expert Vanessa Kier: "Start Your Novel with Scrivener Training: A Beginner's Guide."

Hi Friend,
Creative a life is messy. Creating a novel is messy. Creating and running a creative business is messy. It just is.

If you're searching for perfection, I say, go to the Divine. But don't look at us mere mortals.

There is beauty in our mess. There is beauty in the process. Appreciate the process and what we become -- in this moment. Then the mess happens all over again.

Some people call mess "uncertainty." Yep, it is. If you're uncomfortable with mess and uncertainty, I don't know what to say... perhaps you're uncomfortable with being human. I understand. Have compassion with that.


Breathe. Maybe the imperfection is perfect.

And we can still create and relax into that.
Have a happy creative week! Happy writing!

Best,

Beth

P.S. What if you had a personal organizational superhero so you wouldn’t have to jump around between programs searching for the information that you absolutely MUST have to complete your next bit of writing? That's Scrivener! If you want to write your novel with Scrivener but need tips on how to get started, then check out this upcoming training here.
