Any answer I give is bound to be obsolete by the time you read this. I'm a writer-creator-entrepreneur. I'm always playing with something. For me, it's less about a series of projects and more about a big vision expressed in multifaceted ways. The best way to stay in the loop is by following my FB, my blog, or my author website.

You make it sound like psyching yourself up for a sports match. I don't put a lot of energy into it, but I suppose I imagine the right people, "my people", will find it and have fun reading it and feel understood. Beyond that, I nurture myself so I'll have the energy to work on my creative projects.
Ultimately, I love writing. I love words. I want to share my inner world and words allow me to do that.

The best decision for your creative life might seem like an awful career move. Make it anyway. Your first and only responsibility to is to be true to your soul. The ego may produce, but only the soul creates.

We have tea. I ask it what I'm missing, what I'm afraid of. Sometimes resistance is caused by shame or inner criticism and the answer is to just keep going, with lots of self-love. Sometimes I'm pushing myself to write when my energy wants to flow in a different direction. It's never good to work against the natural flow. Generally, I'd say "writer's block" comes from the psyche, so nourishing one's artistic life is all about befriending the subconscious.
