The Creativist Show is a bi-weekly broadcast by Irish indie author, Orna Ross, about applying the creative process to everything in life -- creative writing, creative publishing and creative living. So what has Orna got for us this week?

"A great case study to illustrate this week's theme, "Don't Think, Just Do!" in action is NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month, which began in the US with a few writing friends getting together but is now an international creative writing phenomenon. Nano's CEO Grant Faulkner and I get together to chat about the importance of fiction, how everyone has a story to tell and how speed and a deadline helps you to get a novel out.

And are the best way to ride the flow, whatever you want to create."

"Hello! This month, we're all about creative publishing and the show comes from the Publishing Perspectives stage at the Frankfurt Book Fair, where Porter Anderson and I ran a session called "An Overview of Self-Publishing 2016".

We look at where the current wave of self-publishing came from, where it is going to and give lots of tips for aspiring and established author-publishers. And in the final segment of the show, I explain why we devote a monthly slot on the Go Creative! Show to self-publishing and why there has never been a better time to write and publish a book."

"Hello! In this week's show, I'm looking at the seven mind modes you can bring to creative living, based on Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs. These are seven levels of living, each with its own way of looking at life... and of achieving creative success. I'm also asking the question: which one of these levels of living is yours?"

"Hello! Creatives -- and creativists -- often define success differently and work from different values and intentions to those promoted by the conventional world. We each have our own version of what success looks and feels like for us.

In this show, I'm looking at the three psychological underpinnings of conscious creation:

1. an understanding of the difference between "con-state" (surface, head-centred thought) and "create-state" (deeper, soul-centred action);

2. the importance of a can-do attitude to creativity; and

3. the seven stages of the creative process.

These three form the framework that help you harness the power of the create-state."
