I've scheduled something in the UPPERCASE Circle for this coming Tuesday that I thought you might be interested in:
Where and how do you find inspiration? If Inspiration were a place, draw a map or create a diagram about how to find it.
Join your fellow readers and me as we explore the open call "The Path to Inspiration" together during this live group idea/work session. I'll share some of my inspiration for this theme and we'll discuss the concept together. During the session, sketch out the foundation for your submission to the open call and ask any questions you may have about the submission form.
Access to the UPPERCASE Circle is a bonus for paid print subscribers. Members can join me this coming Tuesday at 11am MDT for a group working session.

Whether it has been winding and unpredictable or you’ve always had a clear direction, our paths to creativity are uniquely personal. What have been the significant points on your creative path? Where did you start out? Where are you now? What did you learn on the way?
How did you get from there to here?
I realize this could be an entire memoir, but for the sake of brevity and the practicality of publishing these stories in the magazine, I will ask you to think of your overall journey and then focus on one to three pivotal moments where you—or circumstances—made decisions that affected your path to creativity. What happened? How did you react? What did you feel? And where are you now? Deadline: July 22 at 11:59 pm MDT → Submission details and form → view all open calls

❤️ Though wastewater data has recently shown a relative lower point in COVID transmission across North America, now is not the time to let down your guard. There has typically been another wave of illness in summer months. (There are COVID outbreak "hot spots" in some US states right now.) It doesn't have to be that way. Wear a respirator! Clean the air. Stay up-to-date on vaccinations. Stay home if you're sick (and protect your household members from getting infected, too). It's as important as ever to take precautions against COVID infection. If we all work together now at mitigating COVID when cases are lower, we can help prevent or at least blunt the impact of another rise in infections. That's why my colleagues and I at the World Health Network have been working on this campaign: Don't make waves! Follow @WHN_global on Instagram. Spread the message of prevention, not COVID.
