This e-newsletter, published on a quasi-regular basis, consists of information you can use to enhance and invigorate your creative self-evocation. Its contents are both highly practical (how to write and publish) and inspirational (how it feels to live on the brink of creative abandon).

Muse You Can Use partly includes deep thoughts and dreamy abstractions on living a fully creative life, particularly through writing but not limited to this. Because I unequivocally believe that creativity emanates from the soul outward, my meanderings tend to be somewhat philosophical and occasionally meta-phenomenal in tone. Otherwise, I give straightforward, practical information on what it takes to work as a writer and become professionally published: how-to articles, publishing industry news, author interviews, in-depth looks at specific genres, local literary scene happenings and more.

I vow to share my intimate thoughts on the creative process, as well as first-hand findings on actions you can take to keep your creative sap flowing like the essential life force that it is. Most issues are lightly peppered with sardonic humor (oops! my dark side is showing) and a few gulps of whine here and there (venting constitutes self-expression, too). I encourage you to share your writings and musings with me, and for possible inclusion in future issues to be shared with the Muse You Can Use community.

Sign up pronto, and prepare to be a-mused.
