Julie Falatko is an award-winning, prolific children's author, who also teaches online classes, and writes a fabulous newsletter on Substack called Do The Work.Julie and I discuss:-what counts as "work"-does work have to be hard and unenjoyable?-why do we feel guilty when we enjoy work?-why do we value the misery of work over the joy?-the question Julie asked herself that has led to her joyful productivity-Julie's writing process and the challenges of writing-how writing takes time, including that Julie's next book Help Wanted: One Rooster took 10 years to be published-Julie's desire that we get off social media and write those great books we're always thinking about writing -how your writing, and your creativity, is not a corporate agendaWe mention these books: Sacred Success by Barbara Stanny HusonFilterworld: HOW ALGORITHMS FLATTENED CULTURE By Kyle ChaykaI also mentioned an article I thought was called "The Blanding of America." I was wrong about that. I confused the article with another I had read in the NY Times called "America, the Bland" and another in the Boston Globe called "The Blanding of America." The actual article I was referring to is called "The Age of Average" by Alex Murrell. It's fascinating and worth the read!
