How’s 2011 looking for you? Did you get everything you wanted to get done? I sure didn’t. And it usually ends up that way. Every year I have every intention of doing exactly what I write down as my goals for the year and every November I look back at that list and wonder why [...]
What is Creative Cartography?
Creative Cartography is a way to represent all the steps of your project visually. You’ll be learning a whole-brained system to plan the project and create your own Project Treasure Map. I’m not one to leave you there alone wondering what to do next, so alongside the Project Treasure Map, you’ll learn to make Daily [...]
Do What Feeds You
This is on one of the round cork trivets I use as a cork board in front of my desk. Whenever I feel discouraged, frustrated, grumpy, angsty or tired, this is a reminder to get myself into the studio and play with my paints, pens, markers & glue. What feeds you? (leave a comment below [...]
To-Do Lists Suck
I have a friend (let’s call him Brent) who has a 97+ item running to-do list in a spreadsheet. He deletes stuff when they’re done and adds tasks at the bottom when new stuff comes up. Brent’s list is never done. Ever. I think the first time I ever heard of this list was 10 [...]
Monkey See, Monkey Want!
I wanted to give you another peek into the Flying Monkey Missives. The Missives are special little notes from me to you I send out when the muse strikes. You can get them (and all the ones I’ve written so far) by signing up for the mailing list on the upper right. Oh my Dearest [...]
A peek into one of the Flying Monkey Missives
I never intended to be secretive, but I’ve taken to only sending the Flying Monkey Missives to my email list. Partially because I think the content is best suited to something a bit more private, and because I want to create something especially for those who have trusted me with their emails. But I’ve been [...]

Releasing the Flying Monkeys (they’re cute, not dangerous. I promise)
Hey you… It’s been a while. And I know in the midst of all the stuff surrounding the Idea Evaluator Kit this past month you may not be getting a clear idea of who I am and what I do. But that’s about to change. It started with an old seafoam green typewriter, some ledger [...]
How to Handle Launch Season
I recorded an audio dealie about two years ago regarding the very same thing people have been riffing about during this launch-frenzy season. I use a process, a system (that I keep having to remind myself) of figuring out what you need, and finding your teachers before you ever spend a dime. The audio is [...]
Help! I have no ideas…
With all the talk about idea evaluating the past few weeks, I know I’ve been leaving out a big piece of the puzzle: how to come up with ideas in the first place. The reason why I haven’t been writing about this is because frankly, I’m rarely short of ideas. I’ve been short on the [...]
