- The writing!
- Teaching that 13-step class.
- Feeling The Time Crunch
- The WRITING!!
- And Oh My Gosh! What happens after I finish??
- What do I say for my Artist Statement and Bio and ...??
- How do I write about my paintings?
As we chatted, I thought of each of you and your journey - wherever you are on the quest! And of your personal challenges and triumphs! And - you've got this!! You've come so far already - that's hard to realize sometimes! But you have!

So take a deep breath, and congratulate yourself on what you have accomplished!!
Pull out your journal /print out of Assignments, what's left?
- Do you and your Muse have a time frame?
- Utilise snatches of time!
- Do you have a word program and file set up to receive what you've written?
Categorize
- Which assignments have you shaking in your boots?
- Which are easy peasy and almost compete? (Alternate some of these with the harder ones, and check them off!)
- Color code these by difficulty, or make a card for each, with steps in the back
- Or: write on slips of paper and put them in a jar - pull one or two a day.
- Write about/take an action step
- Set a card or slip aside till later if you need, but pull another!
- Are any confusing? Ask!
Here are some strategies that could help
- Keep it simple!
- Go through your journals with tabs or sticky notes, and mark pages that hold writing to distill for your Initiate Book.
- If English is your second language, write in your mothertongue - then translate/ have someone proofread
- Notice where you feel stuck - are there parallels with places you get frustrated or stuck in your life?
- How do you typically react? Ask the Muse if she has feedback/ tips - this is a great place for a Metacognative process - draw, then write your insights
Inspiration
- Choose a few artist websites and blogs to check out - read their "about" info, and jot down phrases that whet your interest.
- Have a place to record class names and ideas from your SiStars which appeal
- Connect with your passion and values for soul work and future visioning
- Find the notes from your calls with Stella Mac - there are often juicy tidbits!
- Call council with your IC paintings and ask for assistance/gems of wisdom
Allies
- Schedule a chat with a classmate or one of the graduates in our FB group
- Team up and read each other's work, or ask a graduate to proofread
- Schedule some self care, a massage, a walk in nature, a chat with a friend
- Check in with Sarah if you haven't in awhile
