Hi Friend,

Creating art is a balm to the soul, no matter when, and including now.

Create today.

Start small.

Be gentle to yourself.

Ask yourself: What would be fun? What would be delicious? What would be soothing? What would be delightful?

And find your way into creating something -- the next words on your book; the next edits; the next piece of research, etc.

There's a lot going on in the world right now and so all I could work on the other day was my book blurb. And that felt good. Life affirming.

I'd love to hear what art you created today. Hit reply and let me know.

BTW, I was inspired to write this material today because of this book: Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us by by Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross. Highly recommended.

On to this week's email, an overview of my Trust Your Creative Heart Roadmap, and the first of a 9-part series.

Enjoy!

❤️

On to the podcast...

Trust Your Creative Heart Roadmap for Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers

“I really recommend that you trust your own style and voice. Don’t let anyone tell you that what you are trying to do is wrong or bad, or that you’re wrong or bad for doing it. Trust yourself, trust your heart.”

In this episode, I kick off a 9-part mini-series on my Trust Your Creative Heart Roadmap, the method I developed to help writers go from idea to published science fiction and fantasy novel
