Book signings, classes, flea markets, oh my

So much has been happening with the book that I haven't been on here much.

The next big event I'm planning is in McCloud for their big Flea Market on June 5th. I also have a book signing and free intro class scheduled at Journey Spiritual Center in Shingle Springs, CA. I'm so very happy to be meeting so many people who are on their road to creating the life they really want.

For me, art is a big part of that ideal life. For that reason, I've been working on art a lot lately. I'm really pleased to be offering a class for people to come and play with art with me! We'll be making tiny pieces of art called Artist's Trading Cards. Each participant with have the opportunity to create cards that reflect their journey and whatever inspires them! At the end of class, we'll see if anyone wants to trade. Otherwise, each person will take home their tiny treasure to be enjoyed and provide inspiration.

I would love to see hear from you if you're interested in coming to a class.

getting ready for book signings

If you thought that you are finished with a book when you're done writing, your wrong! When I finish a piece of art, I hang it or deliver it to the new owner. It's done. I can enjoy it, but, as far at that particular piece is concerned, I'm done. With a book, finishing is just the beginning!

First, Lulu.com (the publisher I selected) does not offer distribution for the size I initially selected, so I gotta re-do the publishing part. This is completely my fault, btw, lulu has been awesome. They have not charged me for one thing extra and shipping has been very fast.

Next, comes signings. I want them to go very well and want to make sure that everyone that comes has a great time. So, of course, I'm putting lots of work into that part. Today I made a tablecloth to fit perfectly over the table I bought just for signings. I also ordered an instant camera so that I can give pictures of myself with readers when they buy a copy of my book. My head is spinning with "what to do next" and my printer just ran out of ink. So, I guess I need to give into my body and get some rest.

The creative process brings with it such an adrenaline for me, it's always been hard for me to pause once I'm on a roll. But, this project is a long-term one so I better pace myself.

Hope your creative endeavors are going well.

Blessings!
