RWF - 50 Ways to Leave your Muse: Creativity Hacks

My theory about the muse is pretty straightforward: it’s a fantasy, a myth created by Greek and Roman philosophers who operated with limited resources on every level. The world was flat then. While the idea of a muse appeals to my senses, excites my imagination, and stimulates my sense of theatre, the reality is that the shoemaker’s elves don’t really exist. The cobbler and me have to show up, no matter what, and do everything from concept, design, draft, prototype, revisions, production, marketing, promotions, and follow-through to actually applying the idea to paper.  This online workshop explores what it means to live a creative life, and to maintain that fun, creative edge all the time. We’ll examine curiosity, experience, exercise, nutrition, relaxation, mindfulness, meditation, journaling, reading, sleep, and dreams. And when that edge becomes dull, the ideas in the course will help you revive what you need to stay juicy, productive, and happy as a writer.
