Own Your Creativity

Listen Later

Hello

Everybody, and welcome to today’s show. I’m really excited to announce a new
direction for the Own Your Creativity Podcast. Starting today, I’ll be
alternating between solo episodes and interview episodes. Why am I doing this?
Because there are a lot of things I want to share with you about creative writing,
how to do it, why to do it, the science behind it, and how it can enrich your
life and the world. I truly believe that art makes the world a better place,
and I want to share my passion for writing directly with you.

So the title

for today’s show is “Going From Little to Large as a Writer.” Specifically,  I’ll be talking about five ways that writing
and reading can improve your life so that you own your creativity. I want you
to feel empowered so that you go from hiding your light under a bushel to letting
your voice ring out in the form of your books, poems, screenplays or whatever
other type of writing that you do.

Today’s episode

is for you if you want to write but haven’t started yet or if you are writing
but haven’t since the results of which you know you’re capable or you’re
already happily writing away but love all things related to discussion of the
importance of writing.

The five things

I’ll talk about today are

-      

Chocolate for the brain

-      

Making Lemonade

-      

Living in the Stone Age

-      

Trying on Different Shoes, and

-      

Changing the world with your stories.

Afterwards, I’d

love to hear from you which of the five topics resonated the most with you. 


ABOUT ELIZABETH JOHNSTON:

I'm

a writing coach for people who have an important story to
tell but don't have the right know-how to make it happen and aren’t sure
how to make room in their busy lives.

I know how frustrating it can be to feel

overwhelmed by work and family commitments, how there never seems to be
time or energy left over for you to work on that story you’ve been
dreaming about for years.

Truth be told, sometimes you secretly

wonder if it's just not meant to be -- because you’ve spent countless
hours reading books and trolling the Net, but that hasn’t taken you very
far.

You’re at the point now where you don’t

want to reinvent the wheel. You want concrete, efficient and
professional guidance so that you can own your creativity and finally
write that screenplay or memoir.
