Writer’s Journey Monthly Journal – Update for 2012

JMstandingingardenHi Aspiring & Published Authors!

I hope that this message finds you well and enjoying an excellent start to the New Year!

My sense is that 2012 will be a year of great significance. It is time for us to reclaim our true power – individually and collectively – and have the courage to speak our truth in the world.

As writers, the moment has come for us to write from the sacred heart and share the unique insights and stories that only we can share.

We are undoubtedly going to see many more changes taking place this year, within our own lives and in the world around us.

Welcoming Change

Change can feel uncomfortable. Yet when we look back, often we realise that change has moved us to a new level and opened up possibilities that we would have missed had the change not occurred.

Today I am writing to explain a change – the Writer’s Journey Monthly Journal, and its sister publication the mid-month Rapid Review, are now retiring after five years of active service delivering news and articles regularly to your inbox!

This change is to make space for new areas of focus and new projects to arise during 2012. Some of these are already clear. The rest will become clear out of the space that is being created. I know – and trust completely – that creative process.

Please be reassured, however, that you will not be left without a steady stream of high quality, relevant information and inspiration to support you as a writer on your journey to publication – and beyond.

As one of our valued newsletter subscribers, we will continue to share regular news as well as articles on our holistic approach to creativity, writing, building your author platform, traditional and self-publishing, and more!

The IACCW Journal

These will be sent to you in the fortnightly newsletter of the International Association of Conscious & Creative Writers called the IACCW Journal. The first issue of 2012 will arrive shortly in your in-box and thereafter will appear every other Monday. You can also read the current issue by clicking here.

In order to receive these popular newsletters, and to avoid them ending up in your Junk mail folder, you will need to put this email address in your “allowed” email list: info@iaccw.com

It is my sincere hope that you will find the quality of the IACCW Journal to be of equal, if not greater, value to you as you write your book(s) for publication and build your profile as an author.

Thank you for your understanding as we shift gear for 2012. I’m looking forward to sharing all of my new ideas with you over the coming weeks and months. If you have any comments or questions, feel free to contact me on info@iaccw.com any time.

Enjoy!

Happy New Year!

New Year 2012Hi Aspiring & Published Authors!

It is with great pleasure that I am writing to wish you a very happy New Year!

I hope that you have enjoyed an excellent mid-winter break and are looking forward to all that 2012 has to bring.

At this time of year, we all have a wonderful opportunity to make a fresh start and renew our commitment to our most important priorities.

It is a time when we can draw a line and leave behind all of the baggage that no longer serves us.

Free from all that weighs us down, we can then set our intentions for positive outcomes in all the areas of life that mean the most to us.

We’ll be sharing some inspiration and practical tips over the coming weeks for how to make 2012 your most creatively productive and rewarding year ever as you establish yourself as an author.

For now, I just want to send you an abundance of good wishes as we begin what I am sure will be an awesome year for us all.

Enjoy your 2012 writer’s journey!
