Discover the difference between those day when the ideas just leap into motion...

...and those days when you just sit around wishing they had!

From Robin Manuell   Monday 10.00am

I was talking with a friend, an artist, the other day about the creative process, and he was saying how sometimes it's so frustrating, he has no motivation or inspiration, its an effort to even turn up at the page, and then at other times he seems to connect with the right energy and everything flows naturally, the process is enjoyable and he makes progress easily. But why did those moments seem so fleeting! If only he could summon them at will!

Now, If you'ld like to unlock your own creativity, to be able to work with your own natural creative cycles then I'd like you to join me in a journey of discovery.

On Saturday the 25th .. in Brighton in the UK, you can join me and a small gathering of creative people who will be realising the difference it makes when you take control of Lighting The Creative Fire.

But first, I have a couple of questions for you because I want to  be sure this is the right thing for you.

If you answer yes to either of these statements then you'll benefit most from this experience.

Yes, creativity is essential to your sense of satisfaction and well-being.

Do you just feel that urge to create? Is being creative something that satisfies you, that makes you feel more of who you really are?

Yes, creativity is essential to success in your job or business.

Do you work in a creative job? or manage other creative people? Do you need to be creative even when you don't like what you're working on?

If you answer yes to either of those questions then I'm guessing that you'll recognise some of the everyday struggles creative people face.

• You have a great idea but you're so stressed just keeping the show on the road and the wolves from the door that you never get it started.
• Sometimes nothing seems to flow. The muse has left you, the fountain is dry! You can't seem to just get to the page or the canvas or ... 
• You have so many good ideas it's overwhelming. They're all so interesting! How to choose between them?
• You are great at what you do but you don't always have the confidence to follow through. You're uncomfortable about promoting yourself.
• Your creativity doesn't always go together with being organised and efficient. Business language is a huge turn off. Time management? Leave me alone!
•  Your idea is great but you need to put it out there, research your markets and find out how much time and money its worth investing.
• You're frustrated by having to compromise what you do to be commercial. You do your bit for other people but you'd like to feel that sense of ownership. You want to be doing your own thing.
•  You don't care about the money and the business side of it, you just want to do what you love!
• It's really hard to value what you do. Lets face it your talent is priceless. And how long is a piece of string?
• It's frustrating working with other people with their own ideas and agendas and the politics and power games gets in the way of creating something you can believe in.
• You need other people! And that means communicating and collaborating with them; finding relationships that work for both of you.
• You're only as good as your last project. Sure it was a huge success, critically acclaimed and financially rewarding. But what now? The bar is raised. Will you be able to live up to expectations?
• You're so worn out by your last project you honestly think, can I bear to go through that again? Just think what we could if we had enough time and enough money!
