SURVEY! Calling all writers and creatives I need your help. Well, perhaps not need, but I’d certainly appreciate your help.
Boundless Creativity
As you may know, New Harbinger Publication signed me to write what I believe is my life’s work. As writers and artists, we’re continually asked to take risks, and furthermore, to try, try again. Boundless Creativity: A Spiritual Workbook for Overcoming Self-Doubt, Emotional Traps, and Other Creative Blocks seeks to change your perception of life from a place of drama and setbacks to a series of creative breakthroughs. Our spiritual nature is to embrace creativity just as all of life is made up of creative energy.
Self-Doubt
As writers, creatives and makers, you imagine worlds and write them down, see an image and paint it on canvas, create bracelets you imagine or whatever your chosen medium to express your creativity. You’re just the people I’d like to help me by completing the survey below.
If you’re like most creatives I’ve worked with over the years, you experience self-doubt from time to time. You also sometimes or frequently feel blocked creatively. In our attempt to create something from our imagination, it’s not unusual to become ensnarled in emotional traps. For those reasons, I value your feedback.
Writers and Creatives I Need Your Help
Over the years, creatives in my workshops and talks fill out a questionaire about their goals and strengths, flaws and fears. In contrast, now for my new book I seek a different sort of insight. Having handed in the first two batches of chapters, I now enter the third phase of the workbook. For those of you familiar with my work with the Universal Story, you know I’m entering the dark middle where creatives are most apt to suffer a major setback(s). For many of us, this is a defining time, especially so if we stumble, lose our way, feel all is lost and suffer a dark night of the soul.
Whether or not you’ve experienced such a time, feel free to answer any and all questions in any way that best reflects your creative process. Your feedback is your permission for me to use your responses in my upcoming book (pub date 6/20). However, and above all, though I may use your comments and creative experiences, your identity remains completely anonymous.
