This month I facilitated a writers' retreat for a few mastermind clients who needed a block of time to focus on their books and some intermittent time with me.

This year I want most to produce a book that people want to BUY. This differs from work-for-hire. People buying my book will reward me for my CREATIVITY as well as my craft. I often write about the role that my spiritual beliefs play in my life. One that Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way drove home to me is that God loves creatives because God is the Great Creator.

I'm still running that through my politically correct filter.
