Crazy August

Well have started my Masters in Creative Writing (now into week 2) and finding it not at all like my first degree - I actually look forward to doing the reading and exercises this time around which I guess all comes down to 'following your bliss.' I used to have a sign posted in my classroom that said 'do a career that you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.' Finally really feel this way! And while I haven't technically established a career in writing I feel I am on the way to doing just that.

So follow your bliss...

Off to Romance Writer's of Australia Conference in Sydney next Thursday and have a pitch spot with an amazing editor of a BIG publishing company which is terrifying  - but I'm too curious to turn it down.

Also reading Louise Hay's 'You Can Heal Your Life' and finding it very powerful. What an amazing teacher and leader. Learning a lot from her philosophy!
