Creatives in Training

Join us in February as we focus on ways to nurture the creativity in ourselves, our friends, and the community as a whole. We still have an opening for a guest blogger if you're interested in sharing with us as we learn how to carve out space and time to let our imaginations run wild.

Now Reading: War of Art

Join us as we discuss Steven Pressfield's The War of Art on the message boards! The subtitle for this book is "Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles" - perfect for our Girlyfighters.

We're on Pinterest!

Pinterest is a dream for creatives! Whether you're looking for encouragement or project ideas, you'll find it on that site. Follow our boards as we start pinning resources and inspiration for our community.

The POW! has been a long-standing part of Girlyfight but weekly prompts are fairly new. We'd love for you to suggest a prompt or share a POW!

All In
