The second in a 28-part series on 28 big ideas from coaching for authors to coach themselves, adapted from my book, The Coach Within.

“Travelers there is no path, the path is made by walking.”
— Antonio Machado

Take just one step — physical, mental, or emotional — and you have created, added to the creation that is your author path. This is a thrilling, high-yield idea:

  • We are always creating.
  • From wherever we’re at, there’s an infinite number of next possible steps.
  • There is no one right path to “discover.”
  • Our path is rich with past, present, and future choices of direction.

Why open up a series on powerful coaching concepts for authors with creativity? Because knowing the essential power and necessity of creativity is fundamental!

But you are a creative working in a creative field. You aleady know this.

It’s possible that you need an extra twist, to expand beyond the creative wells you draw upon for writing to a larger sense of creativity.
