Ep. 5 Neglect the Housework

from The Courtney Novak Podcast Hosted by adventureswithmy40s

This week, I talk about why you should NEGLECT THE HOUSEWORK. I am not suggesting you let your house look like it was hit by a tornado, but I do think it is important to let yourself take time to answer your divine call and do whatever creative work fires you up, even if that means there is a little dust on the picture frames. I talk about one of my favorite books, If You Want To Write: A Book About Art, Independence and Spirit, by Brenda Ueland, especially the chapter with the fantastic name "Why Women Who Do Too Much Housework Should Neglect It For Their Writing." Amen! Also: if writing is not your jam, you might still love Why You Should Write. Just substitute your creative passion as you read along. Show notes are available at CourtneyHenningNovak.com. The music is "Carpe Diem" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com). Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License Thank you for listening!
