After blogging just once per week for five months, I’ve decided that this frequency isn’t often enough to share what I want to share.

I plan to go back to blogging here twice a week. On Tuesdays I will discuss some “first aid help for writers” topic. On Fridays I plan to give you resources I’ve found helpful: other blog posts, articles, apps, books, and methods to make our writing lives better, more productive, and more fun!

This Freebie is Great

Five weeks ago I signed up for “The Creative Pathfinder,” a free 26-week course on creativity. You receive one lesson per week in your email.

I hadn’t planned to write about this until I finished the whole twenty-six weeks. However, after just five lessons, I think I will pass this along now. It’s a perfect course to begin during the summer months. It will keep your creativity bubbling along despite interruptions from vacations, kids, and visitors that come with summertime.

How It Works

Each lesson builds on the one before it. Each lesson comes with additional articles to read (if you’re interested), worksheets to download so you can apply the lesson, and links to books that are quoted.

To whet your appetite, here’s Lesson #5: “The Four Most Powerful Types of Creative Thinking.”  If you like what you read, there is a link at the bottom of the lesson to sign up for the entire free 26-week course.

   Kristi,

   Thank you so much for pointing out this creativity resource, but more importantly, thanks for resuming a more frequent posting schedule–once a week was just not enough for your excellent posts.

   Trudy, you’ll have to let me know how you like it after a few weeks. I’m loving it!

   Sue Ann, I’m glad to be back more frequently. I found I was really missing the contact with everyone.

   Totally Rocked It on all counts, for me, Kristi! YAY! (and yes, I am already signed up!) Woot Woot! Glad to know we will see you more often. I certainly enjoy my Kristi-snacks! (like kinda addicted?)

   Jen, thank you! I love your enthusiasm! And at least I am a fat free addiction.

   Kristi, I will admit that I had a bit Kristi-withdrawal with just the weekly posts. Longer posts are harder to digest. It’s easier to have things on the net in small bites. I’m glad that you’re making this all up as you go along.

   Vijaya, that sure is the truth! I am definitely making it up as I go along–and adjusting when something doesn’t work for me like I thought it would. Maybe twice a week will be just the right amount!

   I missed this post last week. I am happy for sure that you are going back to posting twice a week. I am familiar with The Creative Pathfinder but I don’t think I have taken this course. If I have, I don’t remember so will sign up again. You’re right about summer being a good time for it. I can print out the pages and sit in my swing on our patio to read and be inspired. Perhaps that inspiration will lead me back to my desk inside to write more often.

   Thank you Kristi for the great write-up, I’m so glad you’re enjoying my course.

   And welcome to all the new Pathfinders! I hope you find the course useful.

    Mark, it has given me a real boost, and from what I hear on Facebook, the ones who signed up recently are loving it as well. What a wealth of information and help! Thank YOU!
