More creativity thoughts

I attended a day-long workshop yesterday given by a creativity coach.

I was skeptical going in. 'Creativity coach'? What a new-age sort of thing, right?

It was interesting and well done. I didn't really learn much since I'm doing all the things he suggested trying, but it was good to have validation and to hear from a professional that I'm on the right track.

That got me thinking: why do I need validation? Gees, I've got 3 books out, 1 more this year, 3 more next year, and the end isn't in sight. I'm obviously doing something right. And that got me to thinking:

What constitutes success for you? At what point will you sit down and say, "OKay, I hit that big milestone. What's next?"
