Welcome to an exciting moment in Creativity Portal history... I'm ecstatically (without the cling) pleased to share this monumental news with you:
Bestselling author Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy (aka SARK from planetsark.com, and our guest Creative Careers interviewee from March) has named Creativity-Portal.com an "Excellent Writing Resource" in her newest book "Juicy Pens, Thirsty Paper: Gifting the World with Your Words and Stories and Creating the Time and Energy to Actually DO It."

This wonderful, unexpected surprise highlighting our virtual creative community is so very appreciated. Thank you, Susan, for this extreme honor. Thank you also, dear subscribers, and all of our partners for helping us co-create this enjoyable 'extravaganza of creativity' together.
