Creativity Coach and Author

Jill Badonsky, M.Ed., the author of The Nine Modern Day Muses (and a Bodyguard): 10 Guides to Creative Inspiration for Artists, Poets, Lovers, and Other Mortals Wanting to Live a Dazzling Existence (Gotham Books, 2003) is an award winning speaker who has presented creative and writing workshops since 1985. Jill is a creativity coach, columnist, performance poet, corporate drop-out and founder of The Muse Is In, a firm offering workshops to enhance creativity for joy, prosperity and the occasional miracle.

In her book The Artist’s Way, The Nine Modern Day Muses (and a Bodyguard), creativity coach Jill Badonsky takes the nine classical Greek Muses and updates them for our time.  Designed specifically for our frazzled and time-sensitive era, The Artist’s Way, combines the whimsical and spiritual appeal of Sark with a concrete step-by-step approach presenting a fresh approach toward accessing your creativity. Along with a little help from their no-nonsense bodyguard, Arnold, they personify ten principles designed to overcome creative blocks and embrace the wonders of self-expression. This entertaining, inspirational, and practical book is an indispensable handbook for the twenty-first-century seeker.

Meet Aha-Phrodite, the inspired Muse of paying attention to possibility and new ideas. And Audacity, the uninhibited Muse of the courage to take risks. Lull gives you permission to let go of the process and take a break; Marge brings common sense and a call to action; while nurturing Muse Song sings your praises. Arnold acts as protection against such intruders as discouragement, creativity blocks, and mindless TV. With these and other encouraging, supportive, and practical Muses as your guides, you’ll discover how to view your talents and creative potential in a positive light, with passion and self assurance. Each Muse will take you on a journey and share with you:

• Brainstorming
• Muse rituals to inspire faith and confidence
• Muse walks
• Spiritual affirmations
• Quotes from mortals who’ve been inspired by the Muses
• Journaling, and much more
