ADVENTure Christmas Count-Up
A Creativity Coaching Experience
By Chris Dunmire | Posted 12/29/21 | Updated 12/15/22
What if you knew your next creative project will have at least three mistakes in it when you're done no matter what? Will you create it anyway?
These are questions I asked myself as I won the wish bone break at Thanksgiving. I totally missed wishing a wish because I default to questions to feed my curiosity. I also missed NaNoWriMo, but ignore it every year anyway. That is, until this year when I reasoned: "I don't have a novel in me, but I do have a novel way of tapping into my imagination that can help inspire others!"
So that's how this "experience" materialized.
I call it an experience rather than a book because it's not mere words on a page. It's two decades of creative incubation, works-in-progress, and COVID pressure which unleashed itself in a watershed moment. I consider it the pinnacle of my career. And if you think pinnacle is a game played with 48 cards, you're in good company.
Yes, this illustrated experience is intended as a daily ADVENTure, packed with humor, wit, coaching, lessons, ponderables, and projects to steep in like finely-brewed creativi-tea. Actually, it can be steeped in during any month with 25 days if you ignore all the Christmasy-stuff.
If you choose to engage in this experience, you'll become my creative collaborator. I can't exactly tell you how, but at some point it will happen and you'll just know.
If-Then Guarantee:
If you're not transformed creatively in at least some small way after immersing in this experience, then let's talk.
I know this creative project has at least three mistakes in it, but I made it anyway. And I learned that revisions are like the song that never ends. So, here's to letting go. Plus, there's bonus material*, and who can resist that?
Keep creating!
