Writing from Source - Review of Inaugual Day Sessions

What do you call the power within you? I use the all-encompassing word "Source"  -- hence the name for the writing process I use to tap into it, Writing from Source.

During the inaugural day of the Writing from Source free teleseminar series (November 16), participants shared what they call their power and where they "feel" that power in their bodies.

Some of those names were Instinct, Inner Guide and Strength. Not everyone had a clear sense of where their power resides in their body. But several people felt their power in their heart area. Where is your power located in your body? 

Would you like to tap into your power for guidance and solutions? Come join the Survive the Holidays free Writing from Source teleseminar series every Tuesday. The sessions are complimentary. All you need to do is REGISTER.

Get Guidance and Reveal Solutions By Writing from Source


A power rests within each of us. When we tap into this power, answers to our questions and solutions to our problems become revealed. I use writing to tap into this power.

Through my years of journaling, I have called this power by different names. Intuition. Muse. Inner Voice. Inner Guide The Universe. Spirit. God. Creative Genius.  You may call your power by yet another name.  

The word that I find all-encompassing is Source. When I am tapping into the power within me through writing, I call that process Writing from Source. And it’s amazing!

While writing from source, I use a variety of approaches. Sometimes I converse with Source. Other times I follow prescribed exercises to reveal insights that lead to guidance, understanding and solutions.  Whatever the approach, Writing from Source always brings me peace of mind.

During this holiday season, I am sharing Writing from Source with all who care to discover its benefits through a free teleseminar series. This is a time of year when so many of us face challenging situations around money, loss, melancholy, relationships and obligations. You can get guidance on how to move through these issues through Writing from Source.

Come join me on Tuesdays November 16 through December 28 and Survive the Angst, Stress and Sadness of the Holiday Season with the Guidance and Solutions Revealed When Writing from Source.  Attend all the Tuesdays you can.

Writer's Block Is A Cop-out!

Writers have bemoaned writer's block for decades. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines writer's block as "a psychological inhibition preventing a writer from proceeding with a piece."

I say writer's block is cop-out. It is simply an excuse for resisting the creative process at hand. Yes, we can stall out. Yes, our creative juices can run dry. Yes, fears and thoughts of "not being good enough" can stop us dead in our tracks. But we can choose whether we give into these obstacles or take action to move beyond them. 

The key is to move! Go for a walk. Do a puzzle. Play some music. Dance. Motion shakes things up, stirs new thoughts, taps into other perspectives. It gives your creativity a chance to play.

Then sit back down and write! Write everything and anything that pops into your head. Eventually the words will lead back to the writing you were engaged in. And your creativity will flow once again. 

You can wallow in the victim's role of writer's block. Or you can embrace writing fears and obstacles as messages to take a break, let your creativity play and then get back into writing.
