Put One Word After Another

One of the tropes that seems to follow creative types around is the myth of the “tortured artist.” The myth goes something like this: creative work is very, very difficult, and it requires the artist to give their blood, sweat, and tears to their creative work. But where does this myth come from? We don’t have time for a long history lesson here, but here is one explanation for why creative types, including writers, like to perpetuate this myth. The reason is because we want to believe the work is hard. We like the idea that the creative work we are doing is extraordinarily difficult. But what if we took the opposite approach? On today’s episode, you’ll discover why enjoying your creative work actually improves your productivity. *** Are you looking for a community of enthusiastic, generous writers to help you build better habits and grow your writing business?
