What's Your Creative Persona?
from Gifted Underachievers · host Dobes and James Buchanan
In this segment, Pat and James discuss the concept of persona—how to dress like a creative. We examine five possibilities, discuss the irony of expensive clothing for midlevel creatives, and come up with our own dress code for writers.Questions for Listeners(Hop on over to the segment web page to leave us your answers.)* Do you see yourself as any of the five “types?” (Desk Goblin, Dark Academic, Retreatist, Spiritual Scribe, Leather Bound and Classic)* If yes, which one?* How would you honestly describe your appearance when you’re working?* Does it differ from your appearance generally?* How much do you think appearance matters? (Or, would James get more respect if he wore a jacket to work?)Segment LinksMarisa Mohi—How to Dress Like a Writer: https://marisamohi.com/how-to-dress-like-a-writer/Tara Leaver—the artist’s wardrobe: https://uk.pinterest.com/taraleaver/artists-wardrobe/ For Artists Only (for the dilettante?): https://forartistsonly.com/en-us?srsltid=AfmBOororEHH3u2RarNYcLgjfsqXZacv-g1DsXIclG4xfz6VbYnXC-aXBonus Free Download—The GU Writer’s Dress Code (rough sketch)Thanks for listening to Gifted Underachievers!
