Want More?
Read this Instagram post from a few years ago about how I don’t want my clients to need me.
Here’s an excerpt from the caption:
“Don’t let me or anyone else make this more complicated than it is. No other person, course, program, or method is a necessary component of your creative process or your writing life.
I can’t make you write. I can’t make you notice God. But I can enhance your chances for both. I can help you have the writing life you want, the life you’re already moving toward, a bit quicker.
But I’m far from necessary.
All of life is the writing life. Creativity isn’t dependent on secret formulas or special equations or personality types.
It’s impossible for someone else to know more about your creative process than you. You don’t need their secret formulas or special knowledge to write or make your art.
Don’t give someone else power over your creativity or your creative goals.”
