Self Publishing a Book with Kristin Tweedale

Telling your story is important. Telling your story of your life is what connects you to others, and helps them feel a little less lonely. By telling your story, you give others permission and remind them of their worth. The story-telling champion, Kristin Tweedale, and I talk about telling your story for yourself as well as for self-publishing. She shares absolutely everything about her self-publishing journeys - the one she took years ago, and the one she's currently on. --- 📖 Buy my book: https://www.getmessyart.com/book (https://www.getmessyart.com/book) 🎙️ Full show notes and more information: https://getmessyart.com/category/blog/podcast/ (https://getmessyart.com/podcast) ✨ Embrace imperfection and join Get Messy: https://getmessyart.com/join/ (https://getmessyart.com/join/)

The Art of Book Writing with Misty Granade

When I started art journaling, I started because I wanted to be an artist. But, step one to being an artist is making art. It's the same for writing a book. Step one to writing a book is actually sitting down and writing. The absolute Queen of Process, The Queen of Doing the Thing, is Misty Granade. When I found out that she was writing a book I knew that I had to talk to her about the process of writing. Misty is someone who is comfortable in the messy middle in her art and her writing. She has really good insights into how to talk to yourself in the messy middle. This conversation is going to feed your soul. We talk about process, the book she's writing, why she's writing, her struggles, how she overcomes them, how she adapts everything to be what she needs it to be in order to maintain the fun. In the end, it's all about the fun. --- 📖 Buy my book: https://www.getmessyart.com/book (https://www.getmessyart.com/book) 🎙️ Full show notes and more information: https://getmessyart.com/category/blog/podcast/ (https://getmessyart.com/podcast) ✨ Embrace imperfection and join Get Messy: https://getmessyart.com/join/ (https://getmessyart.com/join/)

Structure vs. Chaos in Creativity with Sarah Gardner

Sarah and I chat about the way she sees creativity - a place that has space for both structure and chaos. We talk about the harmony of her left and right brain sides of her brain. Creativity is impossible unless you're willing to embrace uncertainty. You have to widen the scope of possibility in order to create something new. Man, it's another good one. --- 🎙️ Full show notes and more information: https://getmessyart.com/category/blog/podcast/ (https://getmessyart.com/podcast) ✨ Embrace imperfection and join Get Messy: https://getmessyart.com/join/ (https://getmessyart.com/join/)

How to Publish a Book with my Fairy Bookmother, Jeannine Stein

Prepare yourself for a bucket load of fangirling. Jeannine is one of my favourite people in the world - my editor, my Fairy Bookmother, and all-around dream maker. She changed my life, and in this episode, we're sharing insight into the process of publishing a book from the perspective of an editor, and of the writer. We talk about starting with the art. About the relevancy of books in this day and age. Taking your sketchbook to coffee and finding a partner who accepts this. Authenticity, even when you give the reins to someone else. And Jeannine shares a link to submit your own book idea to my publisher. --- 📖 Buy my book: https://www.getmessyart.com/book (https://www.getmessyart.com/book) 🎙️ Full show notes and more information: https://getmessyart.com/category/blog/podcast/ (https://getmessyart.com/podcast) ✨ Embrace imperfection and join Get Messy: https://getmessyart.com/join/ (https://getmessyart.com/join/)

7 Ways to Feel Less Alone as a Creative (Zoom-Fatigue-Free)

The life of a creative can be lonely. And let’s face it: whether we identify as creatives or not, we all know what this pretty rubbish state of being feels like. As humans, we’re hard-wired for connection: we long to be understood by others, we long for relationships with people with whom we can go through our struggles and celebrate life’s wins. This blog post presents 7 ways towards feeling less alone as a creative. And the best part is – perhaps counter-intuitively – many of these can be done without interacting with a single other human in real time. --- 🎙️ Full show notes and more information: https://getmessyart.com/category/blog/podcast/ (https://getmessyart.com/podcast) ✨ Embrace imperfection and join Get Messy: https://getmessyart.com/join/ (https://getmessyart.com/join/)

What it's Really Like Running a Six Figure Creative Business with Deborah Engelmajer

Deborah is my business bestie. She runs a membership for handmade sellers called Tizzit. We send each other daily voice notes about the highs and lows of business and everything in between. In this podcast episode, which is essentially a one-hour voice note, we discuss work/life balance, Deb's French/Australian accent and whether it holds her back, running an imperfect business, and fear of success (yes, fear of success). This is what actually goes into a six-figure creative business. --- 🎙️ Full show notes and more information: https://getmessyart.com/category/blog/podcast/ (https://getmessyart.com/podcast) ✨ Embrace imperfection and join Get Messy: https://getmessyart.com/join/ (https://getmessyart.com/join/)
