Greetings.

I’ve added four new components to the free prewriting course:

1. Using online video to boost your prewriting vision
2. Interviewing the author [that’s you. I wouldn’t worry about a development of multiple personalities.]
3. Using the ‘foolscap method’ of outlining. [Rule: One sheet of paper only!]
4. Mind mapping with Bubbl.us [online tool] and Inspiration [commercial product].

More details here: [The Teachable version will be available this weekend.]

You’re camped out under your apple tree watching a woodpecker five feet away.

It’s the closest you have even been to one in your life.

And you wonder, ‘Geez, am I so lethargic that a woodpecker has no clue a living being is nearby?’

That’s when you should reach for a trusty source of inspiration:

“If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine. It is lethal.”

Paulo Coelho

Yes, it’s just a bird. And yes, you’re not raking in serious cash, but your writing life is not routine. And for that, you can be thankful.
