Do you hear the roar of your inner critic in your ear whenever you sit down to write, paint or otherwise create? Stop letting the outside world prevent you from the creative life you need and deserve with the help of the 7 Day Creativity Jumpstart. The 7 Day Creativity Jumpstart is a workbook designed to help you identify where you need to make changes in your life in order to allow creativity to flood in. This workbook helps you poke around at your foundation (including the cracks and wonky parts) and grow stronger in your vibrant and creative life through exercises and actions. The Jumpstart is about fixing the real reasons you are not creating (like the ever present inner critic who sounds a lot like your grade 8 bully, who also just recently found you on Facebook) and not just addressing a lack of ideas you may have. Rather than a book of creative prompts, this book asks you to dig deeper and really challenge yourself. Like all good jumpstarts, it can be used every time you find yourself stuck in your creative process. Over the next 7 days you will journal responses to questions about: Creativity and your comfort zone The gremlins in your creative closet How to set & achieve your creative goals What the creative in you needs Connecting to your creative self Making changes in your life And making a creativity contract based on what you have learned about yourself. I believe life is messy and wonderful and painful and phenomenal. Life happens and things change and new challenges present themselves. Sometimes we go forward and sometimes we slide backwards. We don't believe in surface level, fluffy "get rich quick and find ultimate happiness forever" schemes around here. We believe in hard work and adventure. You too? Let's do this. Start the 7 Day Creativity Jumpstart today!

Don't limit your fiction - LIBERATE IT All too often, following the "rules" of writing can constrict rather than inspire you. With Story Trumps Structure, you can shed those rules - about three-act structure, rising action, outlining, and more - to craft your most powerful, emotional, and gripping stories. Award-winning novelist Steven James explains how to trust the narrative process to make your story believable, compelling, and engaging, and debunks the common myths that hold writers back from creating their best work. • Ditch your outline and learn to write organically. • Set up promises for readers - and deliver on them. • Discover how to craft a satisfying climax. • Master the subtleties of characterization. • Add mind-blowing twists to your fiction. When you focus on what lies at the heart of story - tension, desire, crisis, escalation, struggle, discovery - rather than plot templates and formulas, you'll begin to break out of the box and write fiction that resonates with your readers. Story Trumps Structure will transform the way you think about stories and the way you write them, forever.

When Marcus Whitney moved to Nashville in 2000, he was a college dropout with a one-year-old and a baby on the way. He waited tables and lived in a week-to-week efficiency hotel. From the outside, Marcus looked like the furthest thing from a budding entrepreneur. But inside, he knew entrepreneurship was his path to a better life. Two decades later, Marcus has founded two innovative companies in the healthcare space, exited a tech marketing company, and co-owns Nashville's new Major League Soccer team. In Create and Orchestrate, Marcus walks you through his unlikely journey from waiting tables to building companies. He demystifies much of what keeps people from pursuing entrepreneurship and explains why it's the only vocation that allows you to control your time by using your creativity. When you control your time, you can claim your full power by matching up what you're great at with the problems you see in the world. The world needs more entrepreneurs who can offer fresh solutions. Create and Orchestrate will give you the confidence to say: Why not me?
