As a non-published, non-professional creative writer I decided to start offering writing workshops to foster love of writing in others. You don't have to know where to put a comma or what a conjunction is in order to use writing as a tool for personal expression. We all tend to get swamped with everyday responsibilities, stresses and work.  As critical as the two out of three of them are we also need time for ourselves.  Time to nurture our love of writing. Once a month we'll hold a themed wor …

As artists, we spend most of our creative time alone. Creating art is a very singular, solitary task. With "The Artist's Way" as a guide, we can create a community of support and encouragement. The following quote from the author's website sums it up: "When The Artist's Way was first published, I expressed a wish for Artist’s Way groups to spring into being. I envisioned them as peer-run circles—“creative clusters”—where people would serve one another as believing mirrors, uniting with the …

So, if you've got this nagging idea to start your own creative arts business or have one that's thriving getting together to exchange ideas and insights would be beneficial to all of us!
