At some point, for whatever reason, we have all felt like creative failures. As a result, we have pushed our creativity aside in the face of…well, life, but still that glimmer of creativity has tugged at us, calling for our attention – The Way helps you tap into that urge, empowering you to awaken and unlock your creative spark, inspiring you to start writing.

THE WAY: 6 WEEK eCOURSE

The Way is a 6 week eCourse that includes tips, tools and techniques to help you connect or reconnect to your imagination and unlock your creativity. This eCourse is delivered via PDF lessons with practical writing exercises and weekly feedback.
