Your Creative Mind

Three Key Benefits of Doing Something That Scares You.
If you feel like you're in a rut or need a creative jumpstart, listen to this episode. In it, I give three major benefits of doing things that challenge you.
What would you try? 

I get it. You've got a ton to do. Every day. But somewhere in the back of your head, this tiny voice is saying, "But didn't you say you want to write a book/act in a play/learn the guitar?"
And as much as you try to ignore that little voice, it never hushes up. 
I've heard that little voice most of my life. I wasn't always an avowed creative. I used to think that rarified air belonged to other people. It took me years to figure out that the most important thing when you want to create something is to start.
This episode will take you through a "Start Creating" scenario. If you follow it, you'll start. And hey, you might even finish. Now wouldn't that be fab?
 
For the example in the episode, I used writing, but you can apply this to other creative outlets. And if you want to write that first book, grab the template pdf and use it to finally, finally begin!

I'm thrilled to welcome Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author, JC Andrijeski to the show. She's written more than 30 books (and numerous short stories) in the science fiction, paranormal, cyberpunk-like and urban fantasy genres. Many of her books are parts of series like the Quentin Black psychic detective books or the latest Nick Tanaka Vampire detective books. Her books are sexy, gritty, romantic, and often dystopian. In a word, I find her books pageturners. You want to know what happens next, and the sex and romance sizzle.
 
We talked about how she writes her compelling, romantic, and sexy books. And we talked about her path to becoming a full-time author. If you want to know the secrets to getting your life set up for becoming a full-time creative, check out this fantastic episode.
