You can find Mark Leslie Lefebvre and his books and podcast at Stark Reflections.ca Why the ‘relaxed' author? Joanna: The definition of relaxed is “free from tension and anxiety,” from the Latin laxus, meaning loose, and to be honest, I am not a relaxed or laid-back person in the broader sense. Back in my teens, my nickname at school was Highly Stressed. I'm a Type A personality, driven by deadlines and achieving goals. I love to work and I burned out multiple times in my previous career as an IT consultant. If we go away on a trip, I pack the schedule with back-to-back cultural things like museums and art galleries to help my book research. Or we go on adventure holidays with a clear goal, like cycling down the South-West coast of India. I can't even go for a long walk without training for another ultra-marathon! So I am not a relaxed person — but I am a relaxed author. If I wanted to spend most of my time doing something that made me miserable, I would go back to my old day job in consulting. I was paid well and worked fewer hours overall. But I measure my life by what I create, and if I am not working on a creative project, I am not able to truly relax in my downtime. There are always more things I want to learn and write about, always more stories to be told and knowledge to share. I don't want to kill my writing life by over-stressing or burning out as an author. I write what I love and follow my Muse into projects that feel right. I know how to publish and market books well enough to reach readers and make some money. I have many different income streams through my books, podcast and website. Of course, I still have my creative and business challenges as well as mindset issues, just like any writer. That never goes away. But after a decade as a full-time author entrepreneur, I have a mature creative business and I've relaxed into the way I do things. I love to write, but I also want a full and happy, healthy life. I'm still learning and improving as the industry shifts — and I change, too. I still have ambitious creative and financial goals, but I am going about them in a more relaxed way and in this book, I'll share some of my experiences and tips in the hope that you can discover your relaxed path, too. Mark: One of the most fundamental things you can do in your writing life is look at how you want to spend your time. I think back to the concept of: ‘You're often a reflection of the people you spend the most time with.' Therefore, typically, your best friend, or perhaps your partner, is often a person you love spending time with. Because there's something inherently special about spending time with this person who resonates in a meaningful way, and you feel more yourself because you're with them. In many ways, writing, or the path that you are on as a writer, is almost like being on a journey with an invisible partner. You are you. But you are also the writer you. And there's the two of you traveling down the road of life together. And so that same question arises. What kind of writer-self do you want to spend all your time with? Do you want to spend all your time with a partner that is constantly stressed out or constantly trying to reach deadlines based on somebody else's prescription of what success is? Or would you rather spend time with a partner who pauses to take a contemplative look at your own life, your own comfort, your own passion and the things that you are willing to commit to? Someone who allows that all to happen in a way that feels natural and comfortable to you. I'm a fan of the latter, of course, because then you can focus on the things you're passionate about and the things you're hopeful about rather than the things you're fearful about and those that bring anxiety and stress into your life. To me, that's part of being a relaxed author. That underlying acceptance before you start to plan things out. If the writing life is a marathon, not a sprint, then pacing, not rushing, may be the key. We have both seen burnout in the author community. People who have pushed themselves too hard and just couldn't keep up with the impossible pace they set for themselves. At times, indie authors would wear that stress, that anxiety, that rush to produce more and more, as a badge of honor. It's fine to be proud of the hard work that you do. It's fine to be proud of pushing yourself to always do better, and be better. But when you push too far — beyond your limits — you can ultimately do yourself more harm than good. Everyone has their own unique pace—something that they are comfortable with—and one key is to experiment until you find that pace, and you can settle in for the long run. There's no looking over your shoulder at the other writers. There's no panicking about the ones outpacing you. You're in this with yourself. And, of course, with those readers who are anticipating those clearly communicated milestones of your releases. I think that what we both want for authors is to see them reaching those milestones at their own paces, in their own comfort, delighting in the fact their readers are there cheering them on. Because we'll be silently cheering them along as well, knowing that they've set a pace, making relaxed author lifestyle choices, that will benefit them in the long run. “I'm glad you're writing this book. I know I'm not the only author who wants peace, moments of joy, and to enjoy the journey. Indie publishing is a luxury that I remember not having, I don't want to lose my sense of gratitude.” —Anonymous author from our survey Write what you love Joanna: The pandemic has taught us that life really is short. Memento mori — remember, you will die. What is the point of spending precious time writing books you don't want to write? If we only have a limited amount of time and only have a limited number of books that we can write in a lifetime, then we need to choose to write the books that we love. If I wanted a job doing something I don't enjoy, then I would have remained in my stressful old career as an IT consultant — when I certainly wasn't relaxed! Taking that further, if you try to write things you don't love, then you're going to have to read what you don't love as well, which will take more time. I love writing thrillers because that's what I love to read. Back when I was miserable in my day job, I would go to the bookstore at lunchtime and buy thrillers. I would read them on the train to and from work and during the lunch break. Anything for a few minutes of escape. That's the same feeling I try to give my readers now. I know the genre inside and out. If I had to write something else, I would have to read and learn that other genre and spend time doing things I don't love. In fact, I don't even know how you can read things you don't enjoy. I only give books a few pages and if they don't resonate, I stop reading. Life really is too short. You also need to run your own race and travel your own journey. If you try to write in a genre you are not immersed in, you will always be looking sideways at what other authors are doing, and that can cause comparisonitis — when you compare yourself to others, most often in an unfavorable way. Definitely not relaxing! Writing something you love has many intrinsic rewards other than sales. Writing is a career for many of us, but it's a passion first, and you don't want to feel like you've wasted your time on words you don't care about. “Write what you know” is terrible advice for a long-term career as at some point, you will run out of what you know. It should be “write what you want to learn about.” When I want to learn about a topic, I write a book on it because that feeds my curiosity and I love book research, it's how I enjoy spending my time, especially when I travel, which is also part of how I relax. If you write what you love and make it part of your lifestyle, you will be a far more relaxed author. Mark: It's common that writers are drawn into storytelling from some combination of passion, curiosity, and unrelenting interest. We probably read or saw something that inspired us, and we wanted to express those ideas or the resulting perspectives that percolated in our hearts and minds. Or we read something and thought, “Wow, I could do this; but I would have come at it differently or I would approach the situation or subject matter with my own flair.” So, we get into writing with passion and desire for storytelling. And then sometimes along the way, we recognize the critical value of having to become an entrepreneur, to understand the business of writing and publishing. And part of understanding that aspect of being an author is writing to market, and understanding shifts and trends in the industry, and adjusting to those ebbs and flows of the tide. But sometimes, we lose sight of the passion that drew us to writing in the first place. And so, writing the things that you love can be a beacon to keep you on course. I love the concept of “Do something that you love, and you'll never work a day in your life.” And that's true in some regard because I've always felt that way for almost my entire adult life. I've been very lucky. But at the same time, I work extremely hard at what I love. Some days are harder than others, and some things are really difficult, frustrating and challenging; but at the end of the day, I have the feeling of satisfaction that I spent my time doing something I believe in. I've been a bookseller my entire life even though I don't sell books in brick-and-mortar bookstores anymore—that act of physically putting books in people's hands. But to this day, what I do is virtually putting books in people's hands, both as an author and as an industry representative who is passionate about the book business. I was drawn to that world via my passion for writing. And that's what continues to compel me forward. I tried to leave the corporate world to write full time in 2018 but realized there was an intrinsic satisfaction to working in that realm, to embracing and sharing my insights and knowledge from that arena to help other writers. And I couldn't give that up. For me, the whole core, the whole essence of why I get up in the morning has to do with storytelling, creative inspiration, and wanting to inspire and inform other people to be the best that they can be in the business of writing and publishing. And that's what keeps me going when the days are hard. Passion as the inspiration to keep going There are always going to be days that aren't easy. There will be unexpected barriers that hit you as a writer. You'll face that mid-novel slump or realize that you have to scrap an entire scene or even plotline, and feel like going back and re-starting is just too much. You might find the research required to be overwhelming or too difficult. There'll be days when the words don't flow, or the inspiration that initially struck you seems to have abandoned you for greener pastures. Whatever it is, some unexpected frustration can create what can appear to be an insurmountable block. And, when that happens, if it's a project you don't love, you're more likely to let those barriers get in your way and stop you. But if it's a project that you're passionate about, and you're writing what you love, that alone can be what greases the wheels and helps reduce that friction to keep you going. At the end of the day, writing what you love can be a honing, grounding, and centering beacon that allows you to want to wake up in the morning and enjoy the process as much as possible even when the hard work comes along. “For me, relaxation comes from writing what I know and love and trusting the emergent process. As a discovery writer, I experience great joy when the story, characters and dialogue simply emerge in their own time and their own way. It feels wonderful.” — Valerie Andrews “Writing makes me a relaxed author. Just getting lost in a story of my own creation, discovering new places and learning what makes my characters tick is the best way I know of relaxing. Even the tricky parts, when I have no idea where I am going next, have a special kind of charm.” – Imogen Clark Write at your own pace Mark: Writing at your own pace will help you be a more relaxed author because you're not stressing out by trying to keep up with someone else. Of course, we all struggle with comparing ourselves to others. Take a quick look around and you can always find someone who has written more books than you. Nora Roberts, traditionally published author, writes a book a month. Lindsey Buroker, fantasy indie author, writes a book a month of over 100,000 words. If you compare yourself to someone else and you try to write at their pace, that is not going to be your relaxed schedule. On the other hand, if you compare yourself to Donna Tartt, who writes one book every decade, you might feel like some speed-demon crushing that word count and mastering rapid release. Looking at what others are doing could result in you thinking you're really slow or you could think that you're super-fast. What does that kind of comparison actually get you? I remember going to see a talk by Canadian literary author Farley Mowat when I was a young budding writer. I'll never forget one thing he said from that stage: “Any book that takes you less than four years to write is not a real book.” Young teenage Mark was devastated, hurt and disappointed to hear him say that because my favorite author at the time, Piers Anthony, was writing and publishing two to three novels a year. I loved his stuff, and his fantasy and science fiction had been an important inspiration in my writing at that time. (The personal notes I add to the end of my stories and novels came from enjoying his so much). That focus on there being only a single way, a single pace to write, ended up preventing me from enjoying the books I had already been loving because I was doing that comparisonitis Joanna talks about, but as a reader. I took someone else's perspective too much to heart and I let that ruin a good thing that had brought me personal joy and pleasure. It works the same way as a writer. Because we have likely developed a pattern, or a way that works for us that is our own. We all have a pace that we comfortably walk; a way we prefer to drive. A pattern or style of how and when and what we prefer to eat. We all have our own unique comfort food. There are these patterns that we're comfortable with, and potentially because they are natural to us. If you try to force yourself to write at a pace that's not natural to you, things can go south in your writing and your mental health. And I'm not suggesting any particular pace, except for the one that's most natural and comfortable to you. If writing fast is something that you're passionate about, and you're good at it, and it's something you naturally do, why would you stop yourself from doing that? Just like if you're a slow writer and you're trying to write fast: why are you doing that to yourself? There's a common pop song line used by numerous bands over the years that exhorts you to “shake what you got.” I like to think the same thing applies here. And do it with pride and conviction. Because what you got is unique and awesome. Own it, and shake it with pride. You have a way you write and a word count per writing session that works for you. And along with that, you likely know what time you can assign to writing because of other commitments like family time, leisure time, and work (assuming you're not a full-time writer). Simple math can provide you with a way to determine how long it will take to get your first draft written. So, your path and plans are clear. And you simply take the approach that aligns with your writer DNA. Understanding what that pace is for you helps alleviate an incredible amount of stress that you do not need to thrust upon yourself. Because if you're not going to be able to enjoy it while you're doing it, what's the point? Your pace might change project to project While your pace can change over time, your pace can also change project to project. And sometimes the time actually spent writing can be a smaller portion of the larger work involved. I was on a panel at a conference once and someone asked me how long it took to write my non-fiction book of ghost stories, Haunted Hamilton. “About four days,” I responded. And while that's true — I crafted the first draft over four long and exhausting days writing as much as sixteen hours each day — the reality was I had been doing research for months. But the pen didn't actually hit the paper until just a few days before my deadline to turn the book over to my editor. That was for a non-fiction book; but I've found I do similar things with fiction. I noodle over concepts and ideas for months before I actually commit words to the page. The reason this comes to mind is that I think it's important to recognize the way that I write is I first spend a lot of time in my head to understand and chew on things. And then by the time it comes to actually getting the words onto the paper, I've already done much of the pre-writing mentally. It's sometimes not fair when you're comparing yourself to someone else to look at how long they physically spend in front of a keyboard hammering on that word count, because they might have spent a significantly longer amount of a longer time either outlining or conceptualizing the story in their mind or in their heart before they sat down to write. So that's part of the pace, too. Because sometimes, if we only look at the time spent at the ‘writer's desk,' we fool ourselves when we think that we're a slow writer or a fast writer. Joanna: Your pace will change over your career My first novel took 14 months and now I can write a first draft in about six weeks because I have more experience. It's also more relaxing for me to write a book now than it was in the beginning, because I didn't know what I was doing back then. Your pace will change per project I have a non-fiction work in progress, my Shadow Book (working title), which I have started several times. I have about 30,000 words but as I write this, I have backed away from it because I'm (still) not ready. There's a lot more research and thinking I need to do. Similarly, some people take years writing a memoir or a book with such emotional or personal depth that it needs more to bring it to life. Your pace will also shift depending on where you are in the arc of life Perhaps you have young kids right now, or you have a health issue, or you're caring for someone who is ill. Perhaps you have a demanding day job so you have less time to write. Perhaps you really need extended time away from writing, or just a holiday. Or maybe there's a global pandemic and frankly, you're too stressed to write! The key to pacing in a book is variability — and that's true of life, too. Write at the pace that works for you and don't be afraid to change it as you need to over time. “I think the biggest thing for me is reminding myself that I'm in this to write. Sometimes I can get caught up in all the moving pieces of editing and publishing and marketing, but the longer I go without writing, or only writing because I have to get the next thing done instead of for enjoyment, the more stressed and anxious I become. But if I make time to fit in what I truly love, which is the process of writing without putting pressure on myself to meet a deadline, or to be perfect, or to meet somebody else's expectations — that's when I become truly relaxed.” – Ariele Sieling Write in a series (if you want to) Joanna: I have some stand-alone books but most of them are in series, both for non-fiction and for my fiction as J.F. Penn. It's how I like to read and write. As we draft this book, I'm also writing book 12 in my ARKANE series, Tomb of Relics. It's relaxing because I know my characters, I know my world; I know the structure of how an ARKANE story goes. I know what to put in it to please my readers. I have already done the work to set up the series world and the main characters and now all I need is a plot and an antagonist. It's also quicker to write and edit because I've done it before. Of course, you need to put in the work initially so the series comes together, but once you've set that all up, each subsequent book is easier. You can also be more relaxed because you already have an audience who will (hopefully) buy the book because they bought the others. You will know approximately how many sales you'll get on launch and there will be people ready to review. Writing in a non-fiction series is also a really good idea because you know your audience and you can offer them more books, products and services that will help them within a niche. While they might not be sequential, they should be around the same topic, for example, this is part of my Books for Authors series. Financially, it makes sense to have a series as you will earn more revenue per customer as they will (hopefully) buy more than one book. It's also easier and more relaxing to market as you can set one book to free or a limited time discount and drive sales through to other books in the series. Essentially, writing a book in a series makes it easier to fulfill both creative and financial goals. However, if you love to read and write stand-alone books, and some genres suit stand-alones better than series anyway, then, of course, go with what works for you! Mark: I like to equate this to no matter where you travel in the world, if you find a McDonald's you pretty much know what's on the menu and you know what to expect. When you write in a series, it's like returning to hang out with old friends. You know their backstory; you know their history so you can easily fall into a new conversation about something and not have to get caught up on understanding what you have in common. So that's an enormous benefit of relaxing into something like, “Oh, I'm sitting down over coffee, chatting with some old friends. They're telling me a new story about something that happened to them. I know who they are, I know what they're made out of.” And this new plot, this new situation, they may have new goals, they may have new ways they're going to grow as characters, but they're still the same people that we know and love. And that's a huge benefit that I only discovered recently because I'm only right now working on book four in my Canadian Werewolf series. Prior to that, I had three different novels that were all the first book in a series with no book two. And it was stressful for me. Writing anything seemed to take forever. I was causing myself anxiety by jumping around and writing new works as opposed to realizing I could go visit a locale I'm familiar and comfortable with. And I can see new things in the same locale just like sometimes you can see new things and people you know and love already, especially when you introduce something new into the world and you see how they react to it. For me, there's nothing more wonderful than that sort of homecoming. It's like a nostalgic feeling when you do that. I've seen a repeated pattern where writers spend years writing their first book. I started A Canadian Werewolf in New York in 2006 and I did not publish it until ten years later, after finishing it in 2015. (FYI, that wasn't my first novel. I had written three and published one of them prior to that). That first novel can take so long because you're learning. You're learning about your characters, about the craft, about the practice of writing, about the processes that you're testing along the way. And if you are working on your first book and it's taking longer than planned, please don't beat yourself up for that. It's a process. Sometimes that process takes more time. I sometimes wonder if this is related to our perception of time as we age. When you're 10 years old, a day compared to your lifetime is a significant amount of time, and thinking about a year later is considering a time that is one-tenth of your life. When you have a few more decades or more under your belt, that year is a smaller part of the whole. If you're 30, a year is only one-thirtieth of your life. A much smaller piece. Just having written more books, particularly in a series, removes the pressure of that one book to represent all of you as a writer. I had initial anxiety at writing the second book in my Canadian Werewolf series. Book two was more terrifying in some ways than book one because finally, after all this time, I had something good that I didn't want to ruin. Should I leave well enough alone? But I was asked to write a short story to a theme in an anthology, and using my main character from that first novel allowed me to discover I could have fun spending more time with these characters and this world. And I also realized that people wanted to read more about these characters. I didn't just want to write about them, but other people wanted to read about them too. And that makes the process so much easier to keep going with them. So one of the other benefits that helps to relax me as a writer working on a series is I have a better understanding of who my audience is, and who my readers are, and who will want this, and who will appreciate it. So I know what worked, I know what resonated with them, and I know I can give them that next thing. I have discovered that writing in a series is a far more relaxed way of understanding your target audience better. Because it's not just a single shot in the dark, it's a consistent on-going stream. Let me reflect on a bit of a caveat, because I'm not suggesting sticking to only a single series or universe. As writers, we have plenty of ideas and inspirations, and it's okay to embrace some of the other ones that come to us. When I think about the Canadian rock trio, Rush, a band that produced 19 studio albums and toured for 40 years, I acknowledge a very consistent band over the decades. And yet, they weren't the same band that they were when they started playing together, even though it was the same three guys since Neil Peart joined Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson. They changed what they wrote about, what they sang about, themes, styles, approaches to making music, all of this. They adapted and changed their style at least a dozen times over the course of their career. No album was exactly like the previous album, and they experimented, and they tried things. But there was a consistency of the audience that went along with them. And as writers, we can potentially have that same thing where we know there are going to be people who will follow us. Think about Stephen King, a writer who has been writing in many different subjects and genres. And yet there's a core group of people who will enjoy everything he writes, and he has that Constant Reader he always keeps in mind. And so, when we write in a series, we're thinking about that constant reader in a more relaxed way because that constant reader, like our characters, like our worlds, like our universes, is like we're just returning to a comfortable, cozy spot where we're just going to hang out with some good friends for a bit. Or, as the contemplative Rush song Time Stand Still expresses, the simple comfort and desire of spending some quality time having a drink with a friend. Schedule time to fill the creative well and for rest and relaxation Mark: What we do as writers is quite cerebral, so we need to give ourselves mental breaks in the same way we need to sleep regularly. Our bodies require sleep. And it's not just physical rest for our bodies to regenerate, it's for our minds to regenerate. We need that to stay sane, to stay alive, to stay healthy. The reality for us as creatives is that we're writing all the time, whether or not we're in front of a keyboard or have a pen in our hand. We're always writing, continually sucking the marrow from the things that are happening around us, even when we're not consciously aware of it. And sometimes when we are more consciously aware of it, that awareness can feel forced. It can feel stressful. When you give yourself the time to just let go, to just relax, wonderful things can happen. And they can come naturally, never feeling that urgent sense of pressure. Downtime, for me, is making space for those magic moments to happen. I was recently listening to Episode 556 of The Creative Penn podcast where Joanna talked about the serendipity of those moments when you're traveling and you're going to a museum and you see something. And you're not consciously there to research for a book, but you see something that just makes a connection for you. And you would not have had that for your writing had you not given yourself the time to just be doing and enjoying something else. And so, whenever I need to resolve an issue or a problem in a project I'm writing, which can cause stress, I will do other things. I will go for a run or walk the dogs, wash the dishes or clean the house. Or I'll put on some music and sing and dance like nobody is watching or listening—and thank goodness for that, because that might cause them needless anxiety. The key is, I will do something different that allows my mind to just let go. And somewhere in the subconscious, usually the answer comes to me. Those non-cerebral activities can be very restorative. Yesterday, my partner Liz and I met her daughter at the park. And while we quietly waited, the two of us wordlessly enjoyed the sights and sounds of people walking by, the river in the background, the wind blowing through the leaves in the trees above us. That moment wasn't a purposeful, “Hey, we're going to chill and relax.” But we found about five minutes of restorative calm in the day. A brief, but powerful ‘Ah' moment. And when I got back to writing this morning, I drew upon some of the imagery from those few minutes. I didn't realize at the time I was experiencing the moment yesterday that I was going to incorporate some of that imagery in today's writing session. And that's the serendipity that just flows very naturally in those scheduled and even unscheduled moments of relaxation. Joanna: I separate this into two aspects because I'm good at one and terrible at the other! I schedule time to fill the creative well as often as possible. This is something that Julia Cameron advises in The Artist's Way, and I find it an essential part of my creative practice. Essentially, you can't create from an empty mind. You have to actively seek out ways to spark ideas. International travel is a huge part of my fiction inspiration, in particular. This has been impossible during the pandemic and has definitely impacted my writing. I also go to exhibitions and art galleries, as well as read books, watch films and documentaries. If I don't fill my creative well, then I feel empty, like I will never have another idea, that perhaps my writing life is over. Some people call that writer's block but I know that feeling now. It just means I haven't filled my creative well and I need to schedule time to do that so I can create again. Consume and produce. That's the balance you need in order to keep the creative well filled and the words flowing. In terms of scheduling time to relax instead of doing book research, I find this difficult because I love to work. My husband says that I'm like a little sports car that goes really, really fast and doesn't stop until it hits a wall. I operate at a high productivity level and then I crash! But the restrictions of the pandemic have helped me learn more about relaxation, after much initial frustration. I have walked in nature and lain in the garden in the hammock and recently, we went to the seaside for the first time in 18 months. I lay on the stones and watched the waves. I was the most relaxed I've been in a long time. I didn't look at my phone. I wasn't listening to a podcast or an audiobook. We weren't talking. We were just being there in nature and relaxing. Authors are always thinking and feeling because everything feeds our work somehow. But we have to have both aspects — active time to fill the creative well and passive time to rest and relax. “I go for lots of walks and hikes in the woods. These help me work out the kinks in my plots, and also to feel more relaxed! (Exercise is an added benefit!)” –T.W. Piperbrook Improve your writing process — but only if it fits with your lifestyle Joanna: A lot of stress can occur in writing if we try to change or improve our process too far beyond our natural way of doing things. For example, trying to be a detailed plotter with a spreadsheet when you're really a discovery writer, or trying to dictate 5,000 words per hour when you find it easier to hand write slowly into a journal. Productivity tips from other writers can really help you tweak your personal process, but only if they work for you — and I say this as someone who has a book on Productivity for Authors! Of course, it's a good idea to improve things, but once you try something, analyze whether it works for you — either with data or just how you feel. If it works, great. Adopt it into your process. If it doesn't work, then discard it. For example, I wrote my first novel in Microsoft Word. When I discovered Scrivener, I changed my process and never looked back because it made my life so much easier. I don't write in order and Scrivener made it easier to move things around. I also discovered that it was easier for me to get into my first draft writing and creating when I was away from the desk I use for business, podcasting, and marketing tasks. I started to write in a local cafe and later on in a co-working space. During the pandemic lockdown, I used specific playlists to create a form of separation as I couldn't physically go somewhere else. Editing is an important part of the writing process but you have to find what works for you, which will also change over time. Some are authors are more relaxed with a messy first draft, then rounds of rewrites while working with multiple editors. Others do one careful draft and then use a proofreader to check the finished book. There are as many ways to write as there are writers. A relaxed author chooses the process that works in the most effective way for them and makes the book the best it can be. Mark: When it comes to process, there are times when you're doing something that feels natural, versus times when you're learning a new skill. Consciously and purposefully learning new skills can be stressful; particularly because it's something we often put so much emphasis or importance upon. But when you adapt on-going learning as a normal part of your life, a natural part of who and what you are, that stress can flow away. I'm always about learning new skills; but over time I've learned how to absorb learning into my everyday processes. I'm a pantser, or discovery writer, or whatever term we can apply that makes us feel better about it. And every time I've tried to stringently outline a book, it has been a stressful experience and I've not been satisfied with the process or the result. Perhaps I satisfied the part of me that thought I wanted to be more like other writers, but I didn't satisfy the creative person in me. I was denying that flow that has worked for me. I did, of course, naturally introduce a few new learnings into my attempts to outline; so I stuck with those elements that worked, and abandoned the elements that weren't working, or were causing me stress. The thought of self-improvement often comes with images of blood, sweat, and tears. It doesn't have to. You don't have to bleed to do this; it can be something that you do at your own pace. You can do it in a way that you're comfortable with so it's causing you no stress, but allowing you to learn and grow and improve. And if it doesn't work but you force yourself to keep doing it because a famous writer or a six-figure author said, “this is the way to do it,” you create pressure. And when you don't do it that way, you can think of yourself as a failure as opposed to thinking of it as, “No, this is just the way that I do things.” When you accept how you do things, if they result in effectively getting things done and feeling good about it at the same time, you have less resistance, you have less friction, you have less tension. Constantly learning, adapting, and evolving is good. But forcing ourselves to try to be or do something that we are not or that doesn't work for us, that causes needless anxiety. “I think a large part of it comes down to reminding myself WHY I write. This can mean looking back at positive reviews, so I can see how much joy others get from my writing, or even just writing something brand new for the sake of exploring an idea. Writing something just for me, rather than for an audience, reminds me how much I enjoy writing, which helps me to unwind a bit and approach my projects with more playfulness.” – Icy Sedgwick You can find The Relaxed Author: Take the Pressure Off Your Art and Enjoy the Creative Journey on CreativePennBooks.com as well as on your favorite online store or audiobook platform, or order in your library or bookstore.

In this episode of The Mentors Radio, Host Tom Loarie talks with Michael Collopy, one of the preeminent portrait photographers of our time — a man whose camera has revealed the inner soul of saints, world leaders, Nobel Peace laureates, and some of the most recognizable entertainers on the planet. Over 45 years, he has photographed six U.S. presidents, 37 Nobel Peace Prize laureates, and hundreds of global icons — and in the process, he has observed patterns of character, humility, ego, joy, and loneliness that very few people ever get to see up close. Michael Collopy is self-taught, yet mentored by giants like Ansel Adams and Richard Avedon. His life's work has taken him from Mother Teresa's streets of Calcutta, to Pope John Paul II in Mexico City, to Nelson Mandela, to the Rolling Stones in Paris, and everywhere in between. In this episode, you’ll discover what Michael has learned about people — about what truly distinguishes the great from the merely famous, the fulfilled from the restless, and the peacemakers from the performers.  LISTEN TO the radio broadcast live on iHeart Radio, or to “THE MENTORS RADIO” podcast any time, anywhere, on any podcast platform – subscribe here and don't miss an episode!

Pero también existe otra forma: la del amor.

This is THE quantum shift in how you've been embodying your intuitive gifts andaccessing your spiritual transmissions.And let me tell you, these two things...* How you are with what you know and* What you carry are impacting every singlerelationship you have. Time, about money, sex and relationship to yourself. (transcript continues below the image)Join me for my year of centering on INTUITION right here on this red button!This is my work in progress for Stardust Bones - The Self Initiation journey- each Wedensday in our community we do #wip. It doesn't matter what you are working on - come join us. On Facebook it is the Red Thread Cafe Classroom and on our private app iMusea - it is downloadable. This is the quantum shift in how you've been embodying your intuitive gifts and accessing your spiritual transmissions. And let me tell you, these two things... How you are with what you know and what you carry are impacting every single relationship about time, about money, about sex and about the quality of life.We might not think of spiritual gifts and intuitive transmissions as informing us from the time we're children, but it is and it has been quietly operating under the surface of your life, waiting for the lightning bolt of inspiration, divination, and revelation to land at… what I'm about to share with you.I want to let you know that in 2026, my focus is on intuitive gifts and spiritual transmissions. And you can find out everything that I'm working on for this entire year at www.stardustlineage.com. Everything I'm offering this year will be inside of this framework, which is the evolution of Intentional Creativity relative to my personal body of work.Are you ready? Let's begin with the question. What do you think the biggest quantum leap is… that you could make regarding what you know, what you carry, and really who you are? Because your gifts and transmissions are shaping your identity, largely without you being conscious of it, which is why it often remains inaccessible. (As we consider these ideas - it can amplify what your understanding if you connect your heart and brain into coherence)Here's what I think the quantum shift is. Your intuitive gifts and spiritual transmissions are already within you. Therefore, the journey of becoming who you are is a REVEALING. And that's the key word, a revealing. A revealing. Intuitive Gifts and Spiritual Transmissions * is not a building from scratch* is not an invention from thin air* is not an innovation on things that other people teach you * is not something you pay for or have to earnIntuitive Gifts: You just come in with your gifts and transmissions. By gifts, I mean what you know. Whether you know you know it or not. Spiritual Transmissions: I mean the flood of your insights and ideas in connection with Source in your world. So the shift of understanding that it's A Revealing * reduces hustle and striving * releases a version of seeking * alleviates desperation …As we take workshop after workshop to get access, as we see healer after healer, who reflects back to us what we already know about who we are and what we're carrying. Yet acccess to intuitive gifts and spiritual transmissions has remained elusive for so many of us.I work with thousands of women a year, and so I know this to be true for so many of us, including me. There are lots of reasons why it has been kept from our knowing. One of them is… It is very profitable for the marketplace who markets to self-help and spiritual topics to have you feel like they have the answers instead of you. Believe me, you have the answers. The distinction from earning gifts and transmissions to revealing gifts and transmissions is ginormous. Perhaps even right now, you could feel it in your body. Perhaps right now, you could just be tuning right in to the distinction in the chemistry of how it feels to have gifts revealed. It means you came in with them. It means you already have them. It means no one has to give them to you.It means nobody has to see you for themIt means you're not waiting to be acknowledged by others. Then the sacred work is not to call in the gift, but really to call forward the gift. The energy and emotional distinction in this is SO BIG. I hope that right now you're feeling the change you're coming on and coming into. And the sacred work then, of Revealing is development, is practice, is showing up, is being in inquiry, is the practice of being who you are. That is the path of mystics. That is the path we take once we realize we don't need anyone to declare us as a mystic.We just are because we're women who walk between worlds. We're women who can see things that others do not see. We're women who are carrying information from the spirit realm that is distinct and unique to our identity and who we actually are. That's the work that I do, to create spaces for development and practice and embodiment of what is already there. I can't give you any of your gifts. I can't hand them to you or show you how to work for them, but I can show you how they get Revealed. The acccess to our intuitive and spiritual awareness for all of us can be amplified through self-expression, through embodied interconnection with consciousness, and through relationship with other mystics who are also on the path. I hope that this has landed for you and that you can begin to be with the Revealing.The backstory is that our art matriarch, Sue Hoya Sellers, taught us as this as a community the story. That we come in with information that lands inside of our cooling sack of stars, like codes, just as relevant, if not more than the DNA codes releative to intuitive access. They come in with us lifetime after lifetime. We can either live them or not. And the question is, will you live them? How you live them can be answered.But that you're already carrying them, that's the quantum leap. Much love from my heart to yours. This is Curate Shiloh Sophia. Sending love and stardust. If you want to play and pray and paint and do poetry with us, come see what I'm up to at www.stardustlineage.com. And let me say this:None of the information that I have, that I'm carrying, which is about the information you have that you're carrying, and the activation of it, is actually for sale.

In this episode, we explore two of the most mind-bending and controversial topics of our time: the nature of the cosmos and the truth behind so-called “contact.” These themes—drawn from Mark Gober's books An End to the Upside Down Cosmos and An End to Upside Down Contact—take us straight into the heart of scientific assumptions, cultural conditioning, and what it really means to seek truth in a world built on inherited narratives.Mark and I dig into why foundational claims about cosmology, physics, and even medicine may not be supported by direct evidence, and how easily our collective worldview can be shaped by unexamined premises. From the Big Bang, dark matter, and the globe model to NASA imagery, eclipses, and observational anomalies, we break down what can actually be verified—and what cannot. The goal isn't to replace one belief system with another, but to follow a disciplined, evidence-based approach that challenges dogma on all sides.We also explore why questioning these topics triggers such strong reactions. Mark explains how career investment, identity, compartmentalization, and cultural reinforcement keep people aligned with consensus models—even when contradictions are hiding in plain sight. The conversation moves beyond physics into consciousness, spirituality, and the possibility that confusion about where we live may be part of a much larger, long-running strategy to disconnect humanity from its inherent power. If you're curious, skeptical, or simply hungry for deeper clarity in a world drowning in assumptions, this episode will challenge your perspective in the best possible way.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.

Show Yourself to Me - A Fresh Prayer O great beings, source of life-infusing All of creation, I offer my hands to you this day so that I may assist in the great turning. May I discover the most abundant and gorgeous way to share the gifts I carry. I offer my heart to you this day.You, who are earth, air, fire, water, crystal, stone, gold, salt, and stardust bone. May I be in devotion to the emergent creation story that is the most generous in these times. These times are crossroad times when those of us who are called to guide the revolution are on our knees harvesting the seeds for the futureraising up our faces in prayer to the clearing in the sky. I offer my mind, my conscious, co-creative energies of thought and shape and form to collaborate with the flow of life force, gracefully moving through every single particle and wave that is waving at us. Oh, hello, I'm waving back! Since the great Cosmic Orgasm started,the great turning, the stardust and light has been moving into the shape that we are, here and now, into the shape of this temple body itself. My cooling sack of stars, my cosmic address, my coordinates and space, time and place, inhabited by a personality that was shaped by stories I didn't even know I was choosing.But now I choose. Now I choose my mystic path. Won't you come along with me? No qualifications are needed. No permissions will be granted. Ritual under the moon will ensue and be so much better with you. May I now, this moment, step into the identity which is truly me.Oh, that Highest Soul Self seeming sometimes so out of reach. I'm ready for you to move through me now in liberating self-expression and the ecstatic dance of being in a body with an infinite soul. Oh baby, oh the irony. How it feels to be in matter and know I am energy. The stardust lineage moves through mecalling on the presence of true and chosen family. Ancestral streams of coded light pouring through me, creating healing patterns of sacred wealth and sacred health. Oh, intentional chemistry, chosen destiny. Oh, the possibilities. Oh, the power of intentional creativity. Oh, great beings, show yourself to me. With loveShiloh SophiaWell, everyone, this is my P.S. Consider this my updated prayer status.In 2026, I am opening my mystery school called The Stardust Lineage. Enrollment in two different ways to play is opening soon. I'm offering this focus for my year onto the altar of creation with reverence for the sacredness of all of life here at the foot of Sonoma Mountain in the Valley of the Moon.In one of our offerings, our year-long painting pilgrimage, we paint and write poetry. I used to write every morning, and today I am returning to starting my day with language and image instead of emails. Truth, though. I do start my day by putting on my fuzzy pajamas, going outside to see the stars, the moon, the sunrise.So often here, the sun and the moon are in the sky at the same time. I don't know if it's like that everywhere, but it is here. On the night that I was born in 1970, the sun and the moon were in the sky. It was a full moon, not so different than this one, this Gemini moon.Today, the glorious Gemini full moon shined back at me, winking from her Milky Way majesty. She told me, it is time to pray, and I started laughing, and this is that prayer.If you happen to be in Sonoma or near, we have Cura Council circle on the first Thursday of every month at MUSEA Center. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cura-sonoma-womens-circle-tickets-354362235987Please also plan for the Cura Council on 12/21 !

Is there such a thing as a "narcissistic collapse" — or is it just another trend designed to keep you scrolling at 2 AM looking for answers to why your relationship is the number one source of your frustration? Tony answers an email from a listener who keeps seeing videos promising that 2025 will be "the year of the narcissistic collapse"—the moment when the mask finally falls off, and everyone sees the truth. Cosmic justice would finally be served, and he would immediately feel a sense of relief, and either his partner would now become the person he'd always dreamed of, or he would undoubtedly find his soulmate within minutes after the collapse. And they would ride off into the sunset together. Tony breaks down the email line by line and unpacks everything from emotional immaturity and projection, the danger of couples therapy with the narcissist, to the continuing trap of trying to give your partner an epiphany. But the real conversation is about what narcissistic collapse actually is — and more importantly, what it isn't. Here's what the internet won't tell you: A narcissistic collapse isn't a sign of their progress. It's a sign of yours. They're not collapsing because they've changed. They're collapsing because you have — and the system that kept them emotionally afloat is breaking down. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why asking "Am I the narcissist?" almost always means you're not - The difference between reactive abuse and actual instability — and why therapists often get it wrong - How your vulnerability becomes an "attack surface" in emotionally immature relationships - What the research actually says about narcissistic injury, decompensation, and collapse - Why your growth equals their loss of control — and your calm equals their panic - David Schnarch's theory on differentiation, and his Four Points of Balance that make real change possible - How to stop selling yourself on a destination of hope and start building the vehicle that will truly take you where you need to go If you've ever scrolled through narcissism content at 2 AM looking for answers, this one's for you. 00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 00:38 Listener Email: A Muse for Self-Discovery 01:00 Defining a Muse in Everyday Life 01:55 Listener's Struggle: Emotional Immaturity and Narcissism 02:28 The Narcissistic Collapse: Fact or Fiction? 02:51 Listener's Background and Marriage Issues 03:30 Therapy and Self-Doubt 03:51 Emotional Immaturity's Impact on Vulnerability 04:06 The Epiphany Trap and Anxious Attachment 04:35 Couples Therapy Pitfalls 05:18 The Role of Social Media in Coping 19:45 Reactive Abuse and Emotional Safety 28:01 The 5-4-3-2-1 Countdown Technique 29:09 Understanding Narcissistic Collapse 30:08 The Origin and Impact of Narcissistic Injury 30:39 The Role of Boundaries in Narcissistic Collapse 31:21 Emotional Immaturity and Defensive Structures 36:13 The Process of Differentiation 37:51 The Importance of Self-Validation 38:26 The Narcissistic Collapse as a Sign of Your Progress 44:10 Selling the Destination vs. Building the Vehicle 47:12 The Reality of Transformation and Healing 52:10 Final Thoughts and Encouragement Women navigating emotionally immature relationships: come join Tony's private women's Facebook group.

Enfant, Camille Claudel a toujours aimé pétrir la glaise, modeler des visages ou des corps. Muse indocile de Rodin, elle collabore avec lui sur des sculptures célèbres, mais toujours dans l'ombre. Elle s'émancipe pour affirmer son génie mais, isolée et bridée par une société patriarcale, consumée par son art, elle finit internée par sa famille.

In this episode of Gents Talk, supported by Bulova (E#178), host Samir Mourani sits down with Ariel Garten — neuroscientist, psychotherapist, and co-founder of Muse — for a mind-expanding conversation about how the brain really works, why we think the way we do, and how understanding our neural wiring can transform the way we live.This isn't about overthinking your life. It's about finally understanding it — and learning to work with your brain, not against it.

When someone like Jeami TKV upsets the odds, we should celebrate it because it is a chance for them to change their lives because that is what this sport is about. We need more warriors like him and Frazer Clarke to take the sport forward.

En este episodio platicamos sobre cómo se ven, se sienten y se viven las diferentes etapas de un proceso de cambio y transformación.

“And the point is You have to design a point for yourself.” Caron McCloud Thinking of you ❤️Today's message includes* Activating the optic of desire TODAY* Three definitions of being in a body from my lineage * Overcoming dissolutionment through action* My beautiful dream and why I woke up laughing* The switch on the motherboard that I guard * Invitation to take action todaySHILOH SOPHIAWhat is the Optic of Your DesireMy mother Caron said this: “And the point is, you have to design a point for yourself.” Not all of us feel this deep calling that's defined in language. A tug from the mystery that pulls us forward by some umbilical interconnection with this life and the next, and the one that came before that.Some people feel called and are driven. Some are driven mad. I think of creators of sculptures and buildings and symphonies and people with large vision. Teilhard de Chardin talks about the sensual longing to be connected with those who have a larger vision. So those who have larger visions often have people gathering around them.There is almost a sensual longing for communion with others who have a large vision. The immense fulfillment of the friendship between those engaged in furthering the evolution of consciousness has a quality impossible to describe.” ―Pierre Teilhard de ChardinBecause we want to be a part of something. But in the end, we each have to define and therefore design a point for ourselves. And the point is, we have to design a point for ourselves.This point is not about busy work. Not about making money. Not about making an impact.Not even about what we've learned about purpose, vision, and mission. This point is something else. It's soul code. Soul code is not WOO it it is innate in your design, coded into your ituition, woven into your spirit and expressed through your identity.The “point” is a beam of light that came through with you. It was nested within your cellular structure when you arrived in the womb and the lights came on and your identity began to be shaped. It's part of the original matrices, the pattern upon which your cellular structure is actually built… like a lattice, like lace in the womb. And that point, whatever that is: a point of light in matter. It's energy equals matter at the speed of light. It is a point which populates. Imagine each one of your cells having this point, this particle, this dot permeating through all of the other cells. An original signature. Literally a point of light.A point of light, poetically perhaps, that your Soul placed there in your genetic makeup so you would remember not just who you were, not just who you will be, and not just who you are, but who you could become if you could recognize this point of light.Einstein developed the theory of relativity from a vision he had as a teenage boy in Italy laying in a field looking at the sky. He imagined what it would be like to ride a beam of light. I'm imagining that with you right now.If we were to ride a beam of light to this moment:What would the point or location of that beam of light actually reveal for you? That's when the rainbow comes out. When something is so precise, it's at 42 degrees. There's no rainbow at 41, no rainbow at 43. It's 42 degrees.Where the light reaches the optic and the rainbow comes out….the light is effortless. The rainbow is effortless. And the optic. it reaches is your body, your stardust bones, your cellular enclosure. Your body is what our Stardust Lineage calls a body, a cellular enclosure. Or a cooling sack of stars. Or a sacred temple.You are a cellular enclosure for cooling sacks of stars in a sacred temple, your tree of life!Those three definitions of being in a body come from my lineage, my Stardust Lineage, the one I share with all of you. So when I invite you to create and cause and manifest, it's inviting you to get at 42 degrees so that the beam of light that is already within you. You can direct that light through the optic of your desire.You might not know what that is right now.You might have just experienced a huge loss.You may be looking at years of grief.You may be disillusioned with the state of the world.You may be pissed.Today the invitation is to design a point for yourself. What is it? What really matters to you at this time?When I was 24 years old and the art matriarch, Sue Hoya Sellers asked me what I really cared about seeing changed in the world. I said: ending violence against women. That's when and where my “point” was lit up as if every single cell in my body resounded with the frequency of YES! That's Intentional Creativity. So much of my work is reminding you about that point of light and guiding process which allows it to be revealed.My content activates your content. My codes activate your codes. My revelations activate your revelations.I don't know what kind of archetype I am. Some kind of cosmic catapulting activator. My cosmic handle is Chief Laughing Cloud and has been for close to 20 years. When I think about what I've shared my life force with and who I've shared my life force with, it's all about this one thing: The activation. My lineage activation activates your lineage activation. It's like life is this huge motherboard and I am responsible for one of the switches that I guard very carefully. And that switch allows gifts to exchange with each other. It's a shared consciousness in a relational fied. And it's interesting because I don't even feel like I'm originating it. I feel like the switch that got created with my name on it, is based on you. So I don't know if I called you or you called me, but let's turn the switch on together.Are you willing to share time some tea with the muse, where you ask yourself: What is the point that lights up my cellular structure?Let's not just design a point for ourselves. Let's Divine a point for ourselves. Around her we do that with brush in hand, song on your lips and swish in our hips!With great heart,Shiloh Sophiaps. I'll be sharing very soon what I'm up to in 2026 and invite you along on the journey, it's all about the Stardust Lineage that I walk within, with all of you who choose. p.p.s. This is my current demo painting in Stardust Bones where 100 women are making new promises to themselves.

A magyar zseni testvérpár, akik átírták az elektronikus zenét: Végtelen Zene – Koblicska Örs ep. 290   Ebben a MÓKA-epizódban valami egészen különlegeset hozunk: a Végtelen Zene című film rendezőjét, Koblicska Örsöt, aki nem egyszerűen dokumentumfilmet forgatott. Ő egy magyar zseniális testvérpár, Szalay András és Szalay Sándor életét és örökségét vitte vászonra; két olyan alkotót, akik szó szerint átírták az elektronikus zene történetét.   Szalay András a legendás pedálok és szintetizátorok feltalálója, akinek fejlesztéseit a világ legnagyobb zenekarai használják. Szalay Sándor pedig a tudomány felől érkezik, a John Hopkins Egyetem professzora, és az egyik legizgalmasabb magyar agy a világűrkutatás és mikroelektronika területén. A testvérekről a filmben elhangzó történetek tényleg filmbe illők: ZX81 számítógépből épített hangszer, világmárkák által használt pedálok, és olyan találmányok, amelyekbe még a Muse és a Neo is beleszerettek   .   A beszélgetés mélyen belemegy Örs kreatív filozófiájába • hogyan hallgatja le a valóságot • hogyan találja meg az emberi „frekvenciát" a kamerán keresztül • hogyan épít vizuális világot a történet köré • miért nehéz, mégis gyönyörű dokumentumfilmet készíteni egy magyar zseniről Amerikában   És ami igazán különleges:
