#48: Suzanne Kingsbury felt an insatiable pull towards the arts, left her desk job, whipped out 2 best sellers, then embarked on a journey studying brain science and creativity to help other writers

Suzanne's story will inspire you to "live in a cathedral of creativity" as she puts it.  She tells us her story of feeling pulled towards writing and how she wrote 2 amazing books without ever taking a writing class in college.  Suzanne went back to school to study writing, but uncovered a fascinating correlation between brain science and creativity.  She realized criticism shuts down parts of our brain associated with creating new material, but accessing the relaxation (parasympathetic) centers in the brain does the opposite.   Suzanne created Gateless Writing, a nationwide organization based on creative brain  science and ancient Zen that supports writers to the point of  publication and beyond.  Through salon-style retreats and workshops,  one-on-one intensives and career training programs, she has helped  countless writers on their path to signing with top agents, getting book  deals, hitting bestseller lists and winning prestigious literary awards.  Her secret sauce is her intuitive "channeling" which divines, through a  process of sacred writing, what the work needs and the highest vision  of where the writer can go.   Visit www.hopethepa.com to see show notes and links to Suzanne's info!
