Last night in our Live
Write with Spirit class I handed out the following list. I asked everyone to consider why they write. It helps to know. In fact setting your intention for writing with a specific purpose in mind harnesses the creative forces of the universe on your behalf. Often we are wishy-washy. We want to write to educate and we end up writing to soothe ourselves. Both are important and valuable - yet require different attention from us.
Musicians don't appear on stage to perform without hours of previous practice. Dancers learn their choreography in the studio before they dance for the public. Singers do scales. Athletes stretch. Writers need to light their Creative Fires and maintain their Creative Flow too. Writers need to write - often, regularly, for all kinds of reasons.
- I Write to Free Your Creativity ~ You want to live a creative life and writing is one way to do that.

Number 1-8 ~ Here are a variety of ways to sharpen writing skills, to awaken the embers of creativity, to get the creative juices flowing. We create an experiential writers sanctuary for these ongoing writing practice at
Writers Fire and
Writers Flow classes.
Number 9-12 ~ These desires rise when you have a specific project, book, screenplay, article, to write. This requires structure, discipline, focus, stamina and follow through skills. This is what
Writers Choice classes are all about.
The next time you sit down to write consider your intention before you begin.
Do you seek inner guidance?
Do you want to free your Self-Expression?
Do you want to hone your writing skills?
Do you want to give words to a message that wants to be born through you?
When you write with a destination in mind you are more likely to get where you are going. Just don't forget to include regular writing practice in your schedule. Writers do need to write.
