Writing has always been, and remains a fundamental part of my life and my work. Every single day I write. Something. An email, a blog post, a course lesson, a chapter, an article and a book now and again.
So I was thrilled to bits when Gay Norton Edelman, writing coach extraordinaire, agreed to be interviewed for the Soul Portals podcast I co-facilitate with Cedric Speyer.
Along with the podcast episode offering great ways to break writer’s block, I thought I would gather all the bits I have offered in the past and consolidate them here in one post. After you have a listen to the podcast, take a look at all of the fab resources offered here by Gay and myself. There’s plenty here to get you unstuck!
First off, listen to the podcast. The latest installment of the Soul Portals podcast, titled “Writing as Spiritual Practice,” is available on all major podcast platforms and YouTube. Additionally, for those interested in obtaining a CPD clock-hour certificate, you can access it through our sponsor at the OnlinEvents Library for a small fee.
