LIA Cast 269 - Lettering & Sound Design in Clip Studio Paint (Rebroadcast)

Ready for another day of work, yet not feeling it. So many valid reasons to be in that situation… yet also having due dates and commitments to meet. Sometimes the work is rewarding and the outcomes too, people liking what you do, paying you for it, it’s all awesome. Yet still…sitting there, ready to write, draw, code…and Just. Not. Moving. Or distracted. Sometimes we find it works if we make a game of it. Some kind of reward or consequence waiting for us at the end of the workday. A little challenge we give ourselves.

LIA Cast 359- Viewing Angle Tells the Story (MWS)

Posting socially is something most independent creators need to work with. I've often been the show up when I've made something, share it, then mostly hang back and like other folks stuff approach. But I know that I can do better, reach folks who I'm here to help. It takes more than that occasional post and that's what I'm hoping to dig into with Jerzy Drozd today. I hope by the end of the show we'll have some new questions to explore and ideas to try!

LIA Cast 358 - Showing Up Socially, Balancing Quality and Effort

When you sit down to write a blog post is that a comfortable creative activity? Are there times when it feels like the words are stuck or just not sure how to say what you’re really trying to say? Recently Rob finished a 100 days in a row blogging challenge. That project and other writing he's done in recent years for team collaboration, manifestos, pitches for funding, he's noticed a few things he's been practicing that are helpful he'd like to share. Here in this mini-workshop, we'll share some of these practices to write quickly with constraints, prompts, and instinct.
