Waning Moon
Uranus Direct (as of the 11th)
Can you believe it? No retrogrades for a brief, shining bit of time. Do we even know how to respond to that?
Hop on over to the Goals, Dreams, and Resolutions site, where I suggest some tools to help you reach your GDRs.
Today is my “Intent Post.” As you can see from the title, the intent for the week is “Creativity.”
What does that mean?
It means different things to different people.
For me, first and foremost, it always means the writing. I want and need to have a creative week when it comes to working on a variety of writing projects including novels and plays, both drafting and editing. It means being creative in the way I approach potential new clients. It means being creative in the way I approach the ongoing client work.
It means being creative in how I approach cleaning out the basement, which I’m trying to break down into small enough daily bits so it doesn’t overwhelm me.
To me, being “creative” means approaching each task with the focus I intended last week, and building on it by looking at it from multiple angles, and not being tied into “the way I always do it.”
It’s time to trade comfort for creativity.
What is your intent for the week?
Did you stick to your intent last week, or did it change as the week unrolled?

Ink In My Coffee 
I did keep last weeks intentions:) My intention this week is vulnerability. Being open is hard! But it fits nicely with my overall yearly intention of connection, so there’s that.
I’m reading my manuscript with fresh eyes, after having put it away for 1.5 months, before I begin revising.
That makes such a difference — time between drafts, so you can read it with objectivity.
I’m trying to get back in to writing again. It’s been a long time.
