Plug In With Janet Conner

What makes writers happy, besides working on their craft, of course, is connecting with other writers to delve into the unknown and explore each other’s minds for fresh ideas.

Add to that a team of experts and inspirational speakers and you’ve just kicked up the happiness factor a notch or two.

So you can imagine my reaction when I read about Plug In, The Intersection for Writers and Other Creatives, a twenty-week, eleven class teleseries inspired and led by Janet Conner, author of Writing Down Your Soul.

Janet Conner, a writer I’d recently friended on FaceBook, posted a notice about “Plug In” on my FB page, which immediately sparked my interest.  I followed the link to her website, and saw that her Plug In course was to start February 8. Wouldn’t it be awesome to be part of that course, I thought and then moved on to other things. Little did I know that I’d end up taking the course and thereby step into the “Intersection,” where new and powerful spiritual practices merge with craft.

So, what do Plug In participants do?

At Living Your Soul-Directed Life all is explained, but, in the mean time, here is a partial list.

As a participant, you will:

• discover what is blocking you and release it
• dramatically improve the level of your craft
• clarify your purpose
• get your message to your audience through social media, blog, etc
• begin to build your platform
• learn about publishing options
• harness Focused Attraction to magnetically attract all you need

And what do Plug In participants receive?  Again, here’s only a partial list.

• eleven 90-minute live teleclasses including 5 with guest experts
• two private sessions with Janet
• gifts from all guest experts

As Janet says:  This twenty-week, eleven class teleseries is unique. It is the first in-depth exploration of The Intersection. And it is designed specifically for creatives–writers, speakers, artists…. It merges new and very powerful spiritual practices with your craft, infusing your work with access to limitless creativity and guidance. The result? You create a unique message that cannot help but find its expression in the world. All you have to do is Plug In to the incredible power of The Intersection.

Last Monday, in a post called Journal Treasures/Standing in the Doorway, I shared a journal entry that I’d written on January 3, 2000 (just before starting my first novel), about standing in the doorway and looking in on a gathering of writers.

I wrote about how their minds didn’t seem connected to their bodies, how they appeared unaware of their surroundings, and how time seemed to stand still. I longed to step into that room and join them, but instead I turned away to do what was required of me at that time in my life.

Well, on the evening of February 8, during my first Plug In experience with 26 other participants, representing a variety of creative expressions, I felt as if I’d finally crossed the threshold and entered that room.

Janet talked about how she discovered The Intersection and what happened as a result.  She talked about the power of intention, and she introduced special guest, Gail McMeekin, author of The 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women, who, in turn, shared one of her Gateway Secrets.

The 27 Plug In participants are as yet disembodied voices, but I expect by the end of this series, we’ll know each other well.  In the mean time, I can think of no better way to spend 90 minutes on alternate Tuesday evenings than learning, sharing, opening up, and plugging in.

As you know, the name of this blog is Enter the Between, A Writer’s Journey, and it’s purpose is to share a journey, often full of angst with the occasional sprinkling of joy and victory.

In contrast, Janet’s Intersection is full of light, inspiration, and hope, peopled with allies and mentors.  It’s about positive thinking and aligning with success.

A nice change, wouldn’t you say?

And just so you know that I’m taking this course seriously, I’ll share my first “Play Book” assignment.

Oh, and guess what I’ll be posting about every other week until the end of June?

You got it.

So stay tuned.
