Kathryn Lang wants to help you discover your purpose and she wants to help you pursue that purpose. She believes she can do all this with four simple questions: Why? What? How? and When?
These four questions are the core of her new book Place in Purpose, which she’ll be debuting at the Southern Women’s Show in Birmingham, Oct. 3-6.
Lang will be at the Southern Women’s Show not only to promote her new book and her 4 Questions seminar, but also to promote the work of other authors with her company Peculiar Productions.
As the name might suggest, Peculiar Productions is a company that celebrates individuality. The Peculiar Productions slogan is “Being normal is overrated” and the company strives to help people figure out their unique vision of success and how to obtain it.
“Peculiar Productions began as a cooperative between several authors, editors and graphic designers, but it has grown to be more than just about publishing and more about discovering a path for life,” Lang says. “Although we do still work to help writers connect with editors, cover designers and formatters, we are just as concerned about helping everyone map out a path to success.”
And Lang strives to help her authors and other clients pave a path to success by helping them answer those four crucial questions.
“I have molded the information into several formats so that I can provide the information in a classroom setting, a weekend conference or seminar or through one-on-one consultation packages,” Lang explains.
Lang will help you answer things such as Why are you doing what you’re doing? What do you want to do? How much time do you spend doing things? What are your strengths? When will you implement your plan?
Lang is giving away two pairs of tickets to the Southern Women’s Show to a couple of lucky See Jane Write Magazine readers.

I am peculiar because I am human. Everybody is peculiar. 🙂
Where do I start? Most folks try to categorize me as the “whitest black girl” they’ve ever met, and honestly, that hurts. Because over the years, I’ve developed a sense of my “blackness” and appreciation for who I am, not what someone is telling me I should be. That definitely does make me peculiar, though!
i am peculiarly awesome!
Peculiar is frequently defined as unusual, eccentric, and odd. My parents referred to me as their little eccentric hippie child from an early age. This used to bother me as a child but as I have grown older the more I have become comfortable with living my life by my own unique principles and dancing to my own rhythmic beat.
Some call me peculiar, some call me a yogi, some call me a hipster, and some call me a young professional, and others call me down right strange. All are fair game because I encompass each label in some way or another.
I am a young woman, have a head full of naturally kinky and curly hair, have a sun kissed golden tan complexion, eat a vegetarian/pescetarian diet, prefer to eat organic rather than GMO produce, love to bask in the crisp coolness of fall with a scarf wrapped around my neck, elegantly move from the boardroom at work during the day and head bang in the mosh pit in the at metal shows in the evening, love Miles Davis as much as I dig A Perfect Circle and Incubus, practice yoga and I am a devout Christian, play an array of instruments (cello, bass, and guitar) and types of music (classical, jazz, metal, folk, etc.), and love to travel (I have lived and visited everywhere from San Francisco, Meridian, Miami, Chicago, Birmingham, Los Angeles, Savannah, Athens, Washington, D.C., etc.).
There are just too many things I could go on and on about but it would be too much to list in a mere comment posting (I have typed too much already). In a nutshell, I would say that I am considered and view myself as a peculiar kind of gal because I am distinct from all others 😉
I love these replies and finding other peculiar women! I am so far from normal I had to start my own club. 😀
I am 70 and I want to get a master of fine arts degree in creative writing. There, I’ve said it. Never told anyone this before.
My 19-year-old daughter and I have a running joke: when somebody tells us we’re ‘weird,’ we say ‘THANK YOU SO MUCH!’
