When was the last time you felt creatively inspired Reader?

If you're in the Northern Hemisphere, spring has sprung and the days have begun to get brighter and longer. Winter brought a lot of sleeping and resting, as it should, but now the world is awake and ready to procreate!

The same energy that wakens the birds and the bees is ready to waken the creative spirit in you. All it needs is a little push. And below, you'll find three free pushes to help you start to feel creatively fertile.

3 free resources to help you feel creatively inspired this spring:

Looking for inspiration and education? The School for Writers podcast is for you.

Full of interviews with authors, industry professionals and experts in their field, the School for Writers podcast has the inspiration and education you need to thrive as a storyteller.

Some of our listeners 3 most favorite episodes include:

• Ep. 54: Go to Yosemite – A story for living your life to the fullest.
• Ep. 53: Alternative Styles of Publishing with Roxan McDonald
• Ep. 8: Publishing in the time of COVID with literary agent Elise Capron (still very relevant and basically a masterclass in getting an agent)

Yes, we've been on hiatus for awhile. Between my nephew's cancer and passing, my own major health issues, and my book deal, the podcast had to be put on hold for a bit, but the information in the podcast is timeless. And, you want to catch up before we come back with an even better season 3 later this year!

Know someone who should be in Season 3 when we launch? Reply and tell us who you want to hear from! And yes, you absolutely can pitch yourself if you have something you know our listeners would love to hear/learn.
