As I mentioned in previous posts, creativity coaching is a subset of life coaching. But that doesn’t tell you what a coach does or even who they work with. So let’s address the second question first.

3 Reasons Writers & Makers Use Facebook
I realized a few days ago that I’ve been on Facebook for over ten years. Sometimes I wonder why. I started out with no purpose other than keeping up with friends and family. Then I decided it would be a good way to promote my writing. There are several reasons why someone would want to […]
