Episode Description

Laurel Snyder is the author of numerous books for young readers, including Orphan Island, My Jasper June, and the Charlie & Mouse books.

In this episode, we talk about staying fluent in the language of childhood, the "ghost of brokenness" when writing from a sad place, how Laurel works with the all-or-nothing cycles of her writing process, being an extrovert in an introvert's career, and the difficulties of writing about faith and religion.

Around minutes 53-58, this turns into a Real Housewives podcast. We're not sorry!

Get Your Art In Gear Marysia Trembecka Marysia Trembecka talks about focusing on and making your creative dreams come true along with making money so it becomes a job not a hobby,'Welcome to my podcast (there's a blog too!) on being creative, from that initial sparkle of the thought ‘I could’ to actually finishing it and getting your ‘art’ out there."I sometimes only seem to create when I have to create, under pressure or deadlines and then I moan about the rush. Ridiculous when I think about the fact I have chosen this creative life, or it has chosen me and I must follow my muse – often grumpily it seems! Or I do nothing and then feel guilty as I watch friends get with their own projects. Hence this podcast is about what techniques we can all use to get the work done and out there, no matter where you work full time as an actor, a choreographer or have a yearning to paint more over the weekends."From City bond dealer to selling out stage sensation, Marysia Trembecka is an actress, musician and Will Draw Anything D.J.
