* Thanks to everybody’s tweets at the party we were able to raise $100 for the Afghan Women’s Writing Project to support women’s rights to tell their story.
You have creativity that is bursting to get out. It’s looking to find new perspectives on old problems.
I know that I feel bottled up at times because I don’t give myself the space and time to let all the thoughts bubble to the surface. When I do attend a retreat the ideas flow like water, my energy blows the roof off of the building and I can’t even write down my ideas fast enough.
That’s why Jennifer Louden, Susannah Conway and Marianne Elliott created the Creative Joy Twitter Party for people like you. They want to help you see things from a different perspective and help you unleash that creative joy with other amazing women.
The Party is hosted by yours truly – Karl Staib of Party Biz Connect.

Supported Charity – Afghan Women’s Writing Project
10 cents for every tweet during the Creative Joy Teleseminar and Twitter party will be given to the Afghan Women’s Writing Project. AWWP believes that the right to tell one’s story is a human right. We provide a platform for Afghan women to develop their voices and discover their power in the world without the filter of the media or other influences. AWWP provides its writers with secure online workshops where they are mentored by published women authors and educators who help them craft their writing. Their stories and poems are then shared with readers on our online magazine. The project aims to promote greater economic independence for Afghan women by strengthening their self-confidence, computer literacy, and writing skills, and by encouraging the inclusion of women’s voices in Afghanistan’s national dialogue.

A Twitter Party sounds like fun. And what a great way to connect with you all. You already know I’m dying to go to the retreat!
Hi Kate, So this will be a good warm-up for the real thing. 🙂
I can’t wait, this sounds like so much fun!
Sounds exciting! Will you be sending out email reminders a day before the twitter party?
Hi Monica, Yes, I send out an email reminder the day of the party. I’ve tried sending out reminders the day before and the day of and the I find that people prefer just the day of reminder.
Having checked out the Creative Joy retreat this morning, I gotta say – it looks fabulous! What a trifecta of goodness with you three teaching and attracting a just-right circle. See ya at the party!
I’m already going to the retreat, but I can’t wait for the twitter party. More creative joy, more better =)
What a rad event!
I’m really looking forward to the Twitter party. I feel lost and anxious much of the time, particularly when it comes to trusting myself, allowing creativity to come to light and expressing myself in general (especially in a public forum). I’m ever hopeful, though, and know that stepping out of my comfort zone is essential to moving through this ‘surviving’ period of my life.
So grateful to have found my way here, bundle of nerves and all. 🙂
Can’t wait to ‘meet’ you all there! 🙂

I am a choreographer working from a fluid systems approach to movement for both stage works and digitally delivered dances. I am experimenting with ways to connect via Facebook, Twitter, tele and videoconference and will enjoy meeting other creatively oriented people in this relatively new way of connecting.
This is exciting. i can’t wait until the party starts. Ready to be inspired!
Just stumbled upon this party earlier today and am excited to participate – I’ve done tweeter parties before and really enjoy them. Plus so many great promos – but best of all is the interaction and engagement with others who are putting their creativity, passions, and joy in work/life out there. I’m on the path, and hoping to get more clarity through activities like this. Thank you Jen, Marianne, Suzannah!
