The Creative Council Comes with All the Ideas; Meet Your Muse
Where do creative ideas come from? I believe there's a part inside of you that helps find and explore them. More about that below.
My new book, Artists: Prosper! Make Peace With Your Brain, and Money + Joy With Your Art is out this month for real. Although I spend the first part of the book talking about what blocks us from making art, the book isn't all troubleshooting and pain. Thank goodness.
I spend the last half of Artists: Prosper! talking about the other parts of ourselves that come up with all the ideas, that embody our drawing, painting, writing, dancing, singing skills, and that know the purpose of our art and why it’s important.
While I’m waiting for the live link to be up so you (and I) can order the book, I’d like to help you get in touch with these helpers. I named them the Creative Council. There are three: your Muse, your Maker and your Mentor. Let's start with your muse.
Meeting Your Muse
This is the part of yourself that comes up with all your creative ideas.
Do You Know This Part?
Would you like to become better acquainted? Get out a piece of paper and a pen, or open a new document on your computer, and ask your Muse these three questions.
- How do you feel about the projects I’m working on?
- What do you want me to work on next?
- How can I best support you?

THANKS for your support--for reading this blog, for helping me work out the ideas for the book in this writing, and for continuing to do your art, whatever form it takes.
Our work matters.

In the meantime, helping you figure out what you’re really doing in your business for your people, and the best way to communicate it to them are my superpowers. If you need help with this, let’s chat.
