Show Notes…
- Chris mentions Julia Cameron, author of The Artist’s Way.
- I mentioned end of day dance parties on Twitter. You can follow me here.
- And I also shared that I went to a concert this week. What’s so beautiful was during the concert Sara Tavares explained what one of her songs, a song that makes me cr,y is about; when life is dark and you’re feeling down and discouraged, focus on the good things, on a point of light, a “ponto de luz.” That was just what I needed last week. Perhaps the song will serve as a point of light for you too.

Another great post. I can certainly appreciate what Ms. Zydel does for a living–without my writing group and our self-mentoring, I don’t think I would have pursued my creative writing as far as I have. She serves a great purpose.
Well done.
Will keep following.
hi jamie!
i just was cleaning out my google reader and realized i hadn’t seen a post from you in well over a month…
i think when your website switched over some of your blog subscribers got dumped, you may want to see if you can post something on the old feed to get people over to your new site… cause i’ve been missing out!
good stuff happening must go read more about it all!
cheers,
amy
Awesome podcast as usual Jamie! I could really relate to what you said about doing the fun stuff and realizing you weren’t having any fun. I think I need to take a bit of a “doing” vacation!
I loved it when Chris basically said that we got to get out of our own creative way. I so know that! Like, why am I drawn to the dark and spooky? I like pretty but do I want to make pretty? Not sure. I think I’d prefer to paint ghosts in the window that flowers in a jar and now I’m wondering, hey, maybe that’s OK?
Very cool! Thanks again!
What a delightful interview! You are both such inspiring sages!
Thanks again Jamie for being such a fabulous midwife to the creative muse. It was total joy to be interviewed by you!! You made it so easy and so fun!!
YOU ROCK!!!
May the goddess of creativity lavish you with all of what your heart desires as you do the good and holy work of inspiring people everywhere to become their most amazing creative selves.
Big hugs,
Chris
