Why a red pen?

Why am I using a red pen? Wouldn't a green pen be nicer?

Writing a book - indeed any creative pursuit or the making of something that didn't exist before - is about doing, creating, building, action.

But to come to its full glory, it also needs nurturing and gentleness and love. If we have made something, created something, if we have planted a seed, then we need to love it and care for it and look after it.

We don't want to destroy it, especially when it is little. It needs time to grow.

It needs space to evolve. It needs lifting up. All things need balance to become.

In this episode of the podcast, I'm sharing a very powerful question you can ask yourself when you are in the process of creation.

To question (not doubt, or second guess) the energy behind your action, and to think about the balance you are bringing to your work.

And to have a new reference point for yourself - should I be using a red pen here, or would a green pen be better?
