Image
The identity of William Shakespeare has been a literary mystery for four hundred years, inspiring theory after theory, book after book. There has been, indeed, little biographical evidence to work with, though paleographer and “literary detective” Heather Wolfe has very recently filled in some critical gaps.

It’s challenging to work on a novel for years in a world already filled with books or to share another image when it seems everybody is a photographer. When we do work that doesn’t turn out, we might feel frustrated or sad. When we don’t know how to complete a project, we might feel anxious or defeated. Here are 10 tips for bravely manifesting your potential, creating deeply and regularly, and living your life as an everyday creative person. 1. HONOR THE CREATIVE PROCESS Many people claim to “love the process,” but nobody likes the idea of spending two years on a novel that ultimately is not well received. Intellectually, we may accept the fact that not everything we do will turn out well. But in our bodies, we hate that idea.
