Coming August!

Stop putting it off and let’s take time to write together!

Beginning August 27th, join Jeannie Bruenning from 8 - 9:30am PST for a Zoom Co-Creative Writing Group.

What is a co-creative group? A group of creatives, focused on their individuals projects, working separately together, creating a creative energy like none other. I think they are magical.

6-week course: $75

I'm sitting at my computer editing a script for a play. Not just any play - one that I adapted from a book - my book. All of that seems so bizarre.

Last year the book The Artist's Way was recommended to me. I can't recall a book that has had such an impact on my life. It is because of that book that I have new paintings on the wall and the reason I'm sitting here editing my play.

Starting next Monday (Feb 6) my 'all things creative' buddy Kara Stewart and I will be hosting a 13 week zoom gathering that we are calling The Creative Journey. Using The Artist Way as our guide, we will explore together what this thing called a creative life looks like.

Please consider joining us - we'd love to have you!

Then YOU are a Creative!And YOU are invited to be part of Uncover Your Creativity – a new online community that’s all about fun, exploration, and play!

If you're ready to discover your creative side OR are already doing all the things and long for a community to fellow creatives - there is room in our sandbox.

Let's dream, try new things, and create together.

These are quickly becoming a favorite project.

The Human Carrot was written by a 6th grader in the mid 90s. As most parents do, Christina’s mom treasured it and hoped to some day actually publish it. Twenty-five years later mom handed me the original book, with a very faded cover, safely enclosed in a ziplock bag.

“Can we make this into a real book?” - Yes, we can do that.

The Human Carrot is charming fun read with original illustrations from a very creative 6th grader. Thanks for trusting me with this treasure. And great job MOM on following through with your dream of making your daughter’s dream real.

Images like these never get old!
Congratulation Vikki on your first (of what we believe will be many) book! Vikki is printing through Amazon and needed a little assistance on bleeds, resolution, and formatting of her coloring book. A few conversation and a formatting change and she's ready to print! Congrats Vikki Jorgensen on following through with this dream! Check out: Mindful by Design by the very talented Vikki Jorgensen coming soon to Amazon.

Congratulation Larry Hoekman on your new book! Larry chose to print through Amazon but needed help with all the other details like layout, cover, editing, formatting...all the other things that go into making a book. Those are the things we love to do most!

What a fun ride it's been working with Jonathan Restivo on his first book! Yesterday we went live on Amazon and this afternoon it is listed as #1 in one of the categories it's listed.

Jonathan did his homework to find the categories that best match his book and where could he make the biggest impact - he nailed it. Congrats on finished a three year journey - I'm guessing it's just the beginning.
